What is stress urinary incontinence? Stress urinary incontinence, or SUI for short, is a sudden, involuntary urination that occurs during daily life. You may have stress incontinence if you urinate during the following activities: 1) coughing, sneezing or laughing; 2) walking, exercising or lifting heavy objects; 3) standing up from a sitting or lying position, and you may have to go to the bathroom frequently throughout the day to avoid losing control. Urinary incontinence is a more common but non-trivial condition in middle-aged and older women. Epidemiological surveys show that 46.5% of older women have varying degrees and types of urinary incontinence, which is mostly common clinically as stress urinary incontinence, manifesting itself as the symptoms described above. It seriously affects people’s quality of life, causes immense annoyance and anxiety to patients, is known as a social cancer, and can have serious consequences if left untreated. Due to frequent urine loss and leakage, the patient’s pubic area is often wet, and prolonged stimulation by urine erosion can lead to red, swollen, itchy and painful perineal skin, and even infection and ulceration, causing inflammation of the urinary system, stones, and in severe cases, kidney function. What are the treatment methods for stress urinary incontinence? 1, behavior therapy: lifting anal exercise, each contraction for 10 seconds, rest 10 seconds, each exercise 30 times, three times a day, but this method is only applicable to mild patients, but also is difficult to independently adhere to complete the course of treatment. 2.Electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback: specializes in treating female pelvic floor disorders (mild and moderate urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse and anterior and posterior vaginal wall bulge, sexual life disorder and chronic pelvic pain), and is a world’s original non-surgical best treatment method. The pelvic floor function rehabilitation procedure is based on bioengineering technology, bioinformatics principle, with high-tech treatment instrument, personalized treatment plan, different frequency, different pulse width, different intensity of electrical stimulation, different effect of biofeedback mode for different patients, combined with the training of scene reflex, to awaken the damaged pelvic floor muscles, increase the muscle strength and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles, to restore normal pelvic floor function, and It also helps to prevent and treat pelvic floor disorders such as uterine prolapse and urinary incontinence. Advantages: (1) Safety: non-invasive, painless, without any medication, repeatable; (2) Scientific: introduction of a comprehensive treatment program with 40 years of history in Europe and the United States, including rehabilitation, manipulation, electrical stimulation and biofeedback; (3) Fun: the treatment process is as relaxing as a game; (4) Non-dependent: after a course of treatment to eliminate the cause of the disease, the pelvic floor rehabilitator (vaginal incontinence) is used to restore the pelvic floor. (4) Non-dependence: after a course of treatment to eliminate the cause of the disease, a pelvic floor rehabilitation device (vaginal dumbbell) combined with home health care treatment can maintain the efficacy for a long time; (3) Surgery: for patients for whom the above non-surgical methods are ineffective. Currently, a new surgical treatment method is used, the trans-occlusive tension-free midurethral suspension (TVT-O). This procedure involves placing a sling made of a special material into the mid-urethra to support the prolapsed and displaced urethra. When the intra-abdominal pressure increases, the sling can be lifted relatively to compress the urethra, thus inhibiting urine leakage. Benefits: Minimally invasive – no abdominal incision is required. Fast – surgery takes only 20 minutes and hospital stay is short; Highly effective – cure or significant symptom improvement rate can be as high as 96%. TVT-O surgery is currently the main modality for the treatment of severe stress urinary incontinence in developed countries.
