Fascial Slings
A fascial sling is a procedure performed to treat female stress urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine with everyday activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise. Stress urinary incontinence affects at least 20-30% of women. It can be very embarrassing and negatively affect quality of life. Many options for treatment are available, however, when other procedures have failed or the patient has concerns about using a synthetic material for their surgery (see leaflet on mid-urethral slings), then a fascial sling is a viable option.
Pelvic Floor Exercises
Intensive and regular pelvic floor exercises help by both strengthening and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles so they become firm and supportive, but not overactive. Many women will have a major improvement in or recovery from symptoms of stress urinary incontinence by learning effective pelvic floor exercises, thus avoiding or delaying the need for surgery.
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, sneezing, lifting, laughing or exercising. SUI affects at least 10-20% of women, many of whom do not realize there are simple, effective treatment options available.
