Treatment / Bulking Agents
Injecting substances just outside the urethra to enable better closure See All Treatments- This is an operation to inject into the wall of your urethra (water-pipe) to enable better closure of the urethra and thereby treat stress urinary incontinence
- It is normally done as a day-case or 24hour stay with quick recovery time and return back to work
- The success rate in improving or curing incontinence can be in the order of 50 to 70% which is probably not as good as other more invasive procedures
- Some times repeat injections may be needed
