When you sneeze, do you dribble urine? When you jump up, do you dribble urine? Sexual stress urinary incontinence? These dripping embarrassments occur mostly in women after childbirth and in those who have reached an advanced age. The medical term for this non-life-threatening leakage of urine that only occurs when coughing or laughing is stress incontinence. Although urinary incontinence is not a fatal disease, it brings a lot of inconvenience to women’s lives and often causes great distress to patients. According to statistics, about 20% of post-menopausal women are affected by why it happens. Stress incontinence is caused by factors such as fertility damage and menopause, resulting in relaxation of the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis, which reduces the urethra’s ability to control urine. Clinically, 80% of women with stress incontinence have varying degrees of bladder bulge and 50% have varying degrees of bladder bulge with stress incontinence. In women with normal pelvic floor support structures, when abdominal pressure increases, pressure is transmitted to the bladder and urethra in equal amounts and incontinence does not occur. When abdominal pressure increases (e.g., when coughing, laughing, sneezing, or running), pressure is transmitted only to the bladder and not to the urethra, which has shifted downward, and the pressure difference between the bladder and urethra causes urine to flow out involuntarily. There are three levels of stress urinary incontinence Mild: occurs when coughing and sneezing, with at least 2 episodes per week. Moderate: Occurs during daily activities such as walking quickly. Severe: occurs when incontinence occurs in a standing position. Should I go to the doctor? Although urinary incontinence is a troublesome condition, it does not seem to be taken very seriously in everyday life. Many people think that it is normal to leak a little urine because of physical or physiological changes, and there is no need to see a doctor. According to the survey, 2/3 of women feel incontinence is difficult to talk about, embarrassed to tell the doctor, preferring to change the pants with urine pads rather than go to the doctor. In fact, urinary incontinence is not a minor problem. Frequent urine loss and leakage in women may cause eczema, bed sores, skin infections and inflammation of the urinary system. And incontinence causes bad emotions such as anxiety, embarrassment and frustration in women, which can also seriously affect their quality of life. Such as anxiety, anxiety and loss of confidence due to bad odor, it can also affect normal social activities with friends and family, and even affect sexual life. However, for most women, urinary incontinence becomes more severe and less controllable after menopause as women lose more estrogen. Do you have a way to overcome it? Medications and behavioral treatments are available for patients with mild to moderate incontinence, and minimally invasive surgical treatments are available for those with moderate to severe incontinence. Behavioral treatment: Kegel exercises by tightening the anus for a period of 3 seconds or more and then relaxing. Do this continuously for 15 to 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. Or 150 to 200 times a day for 6 to 8 weeks as a course of treatment. The purpose is to enhance the support of the pelvic floor muscle groups and reset the backward or prolapsed bladder, thus restoring the normal angle between the bladder and urethra. Patients with urinary incontinence should also be treated promptly for diseases related to increased abdominal pressure, such as constipation and chronic cough. Want to solve the problem once and for all? Many women use sanitary napkins to solve their problems, and others think of going to the hospital for a solution only after a number of years. If you are already a severe incontinence patient, it is recommended that you undergo surgery. Under the guidance of a medical professional, this will help you to get rid of your incontinence sooner and regain your “control” as soon as possible. At present, the treatment of moderate to severe incontinence is mainly surgical treatment, supplemented by medication and training treatment. Surgical treatment can completely cure incontinence, while non-surgical treatment can only improve the symptoms of incontinence, can not achieve a cure, therefore, non-surgical treatment is often used as an auxiliary means to consolidate the effectiveness of surgery. At present, in foreign developed countries, the main use of “vaginal tension-free urethral suspension (TVT)” for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, in recent years, the international adoption of a safer, minimally invasive than the TVT “through the closed hole vaginal tension-free urethral suspension (TVT-O) “The TVT-O procedure is minimally invasive, safe and effective, with a cure rate of about 90% or more.
