when All Else Fails Incontinence Treatments For Difficult To Treat Cases


Incontinence can be an embarrassing condition, and sometimes it can be difficult to treat. Fortunately, most cases of incontinence are responsive to changes in diet, behavioral changes, kegel pelvic floor exercises, and medication. However, what happens if none of these things work for you? There are now many more options for treading more serious cases of incontinence that have failed to respond to more traditional treatment.

The last resort treatment for most cases of incontinence is some form of surgery. However, surgery treatment is generally reserved for cases in which the patient has not responded to any other form of treatment. Surgical intervention is also only used when the cause and type of the patient's urinary incontinence is well known. Here are other treatments for incontinence that are used in some of the most difficult to treat incontinence cases.

Collagen Injection - This refers to a very minor surgical procedure that is technically known as collagen periurethral injection. This form of surgical intervention is used to treat incontinence in both male and female stress incontinence cases. This type of intervention is used to treat incontinence that is known to be caused by a dysfunction in the urethral sphincter. How does collagen injection help to relieve incontinence? Collagen has been show to plump up the urethra. This helps make the urethra thicker, and thus stronger for helping to control urine leakage. Collagen injection is generally done under spinal or local anesthesia. The procedure of collagen injection may need to be repeated over the course of a few months in order for the patient to achieve full bladder control. Collagen injection has been shown to be more effective in women than in men.

There are some complications associated with collagen injection therapy, and these include urine retention, allergic reaction, infection, and in men, temporary erectile dysfunction. Your doctor should conduct an allergy patch test to make sure that you are a viable candidate for collagen injection therapy.

For women who have not been able to find relief from incontinence because of so-called vaginal bulging, there are new procedures that can help these women find relief. There are two vaginal procedures that can be done in women who suffer from this condition, known as cystocele. One of these procedures is known as anterior vaginal repair. This is done by making a small incision in the vagina. Another procedure that is also done is known as paravaginal repair. This is done by making small incision in the abdomen or vagina. The procedure of vaginal anterior repair involves folding and stitching the supportive tissue located between the vagina and bladder together so that the bladder and urethra are in their proper position. In the procedure known as paravaginal repair, this is done by stitching the supportive tissue to the pelvic floor muscles so that the urethra and bladder are properly supported.

Are these two procedures effective? The success rate varies, but it does appear that roughly at least 50 percent of women who have one of these two procedures done do find considerable relief from incontinence.
