Interstitial Cystitis
September is IC Awareness Month!
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a term used to describe the condition of bladder pain or discomfort with a frequent and often urgent need to pass urine. Nine in ten people with IC are women. People with interstitial cystitis may have a bladder wall that is inflamed and irritated (red and painful). In severe cases, the bladder wall inflammation can scar and stiffen the bladder so it can’t easily expand as urine fills it.
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.
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.
