What is Stress Urination Incontinence (SUI)?
Stress Urination Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a condition that commonly affects women. Urinary continence causes urine to come out unintentionally. Stress urination incontinence refers to the passage of urine while performing activities such as laughing, running, lifting weight, coughing, sneezing, etc. It can be a really inconvenient condition to have because the urine will keep coming out as these activities will exert pressure on the bladder. However, stress incontinence is not related to any physical stress.

Stress incontinence can be an embarrassing problem. Stress Urination Incontinence will cause the person to lose control of their bladder. Stress incontinence is not the same as urgency incontinence or overactive disorder. Stress urination incontinence might range in its severity. Mild cases of stress incontinence lead to the person leaving a few drops of urine during strenuous activities. More severe cases of stress incontinence might lead to the person having an uncontrollable urge to urinate and not being able to get to the bathroom in time. Stress incontinence is usually seen in women who have given birth or sustained trauma to their pelvic floor muscles.

TREATMENTS
Diagnosis
A doctor can easily diagnose hemorrhoids. It requires a physical exam. The doctor will perform an anal exam to see if the person is suffering from piles and their severity and location. The doctor will use a proctoscope to examine the inside of the patient’s anus. The proctoscope enables the doctor to see inside and scrutinize the anal canal. The doctors will enquire about the patient’s family history and lifestyle. In certain cases, the doctor might have to recommend a colonoscopy, just to eliminate the chances of the symptoms being a result of any other condition.
Surgery
The treatment of stress urination incontinence can vary depending on how severe the incontinence is. If the incontinence is caused because of any other underlying condition, then the physician will treat that condition to make the incontinence stop. Kegel exercises are suggested for better pelvic floor health. Different medications are prescribed, such as; topical estrogen, anticholinergics, etc to help the patients deal with stress incontinence. Surgery is also an alternative to fix stress urination incontinence. In most cases, a vaginal mesh surgery is performed. In a vaginal mesh surgery, the surgeon inserts a strip of synthetic mesh behind the urethra to better support it. There are other options like Radio Frequency Ablation and Laser vaginal Rejuvenation. RFA is a minimally invasive procedure and one of the best options to treat stress urinary incontinence. The newest and most innovative way to treat urinary incontinence is Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation. Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a minimally invasive treatment as well. The doctor inserts a small rod into the vagina of the patient. The laser fibers are inserted through the rod. The laser beam makes minute holes in the vaginal lining. These holes will stimulate the lining and increase circulation which ultimately leads to new tissue growth. The process isn’t excruciating and it doesn’t require intense aftercare.
