How to treat female urinary incontinence

  Auntie Du is 58 years old and her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat baby late last year and wanted to ask her mother-in-law to help take care of it. Although her mother-in-law loves her grandson, she was hesitant to take care of the child. It turned out that Auntie Du had a small amount of involuntary urine flow when she coughed or laughed since twenty years ago, but the degree was not serious and she did not take it seriously. In the past few years, Auntie Du has suffered from respiratory diseases and often coughs in winter, and her urinary incontinence is getting heavier and heavier. Now that I’m retired, I don’t dare to participate in the social life of the elderly, and I don’t dare to drink much water because I’m too ashamed to talk about it, and I haven’t gone to the hospital specifically for medical treatment. And take care of babies need to work day and night, their own situation so how can take good care of children. In February of this year, Auntie Du heard on the radio the scientific propaganda of the urology department of the Shanghai Nine Hospitals about the treatment of female incontinence, and realized that incontinence is a disease that requires active treatment, and that the right treatment can cure most incontinence like her own. So Auntie Du came to the urology clinic of the Ninth Hospital and underwent “modified trans-occlusive tension-free urethral suspension” (modified TVT-O), which went very well and she was discharged the day after the operation, and now her urinary incontinence symptoms have been completely controlled and Auntie Du pushes her stroller around the park every day.  Auntie Du’s condition is medically known as stress urinary incontinence, which can occur in women of any age. Long-term incontinence can lead to skin infections and ulcers in the perineum and lower abdomen, and lead to urinary system infections, bladder stones and other diseases. This causes patients to suffer both daily life and psychological distress. Severe incontinence requires the use of adult diapers, and female incontinence can seriously affect the quality of sexual life. Therefore, it is important to seek early medical attention and treatment for urinary incontinence. Mild stress incontinence medication and pelvic floor muscle training can help patients return to normal, while patients with severe symptoms can now be treated with minimally invasive tension-free urethral sling surgery to restore full normal urinary control. This minimally invasive procedure has no visible wound on the body surface and has no impact on appearance, but can greatly improve life.
