As you age, the pelvic muscles that control your urinary flow tend to weaken. The two primary muscles used to control the bladder are the sphincter and the detrusor. As long as the pressure between these muscles remains the same, you remain continent. However, should you begin to lose control of your sphincter muscle, you may begin to experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a condition we’re able to treat here at the Culver City Surgical Specialists.
SUI can occur during any activity that places stress on the bladder, including:
Coughing
Sneezing
Laughing
Exercising
It’s quite common for this condition to go undiagnosed because patients are often embarrassed to admit such a problem to their doctors. Should you suffer from this condition, you’ll be pleased to know that treatment involves a simple minimally-invasive procedure known as a bladder sling insertion.
