Surgery for Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, often caused by weakened pelvic muscles, nerve dysfunction, or bladder control issues. While many cases can be managed with lifestyle changes, pelvic floor therapy, or medications, surgery may be recommended for moderate to severe incontinence, especially when other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.

The type of surgery depends on the cause and type of incontinence, most commonly:

• Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) – leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Urgency Incontinence (Overactive Bladder) – sudden urge to urinate with little warning
