Urethral Bulking

Introduction

Effective Treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Urethral bulking is a non-surgical procedure used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. This condition occurs when weakened pelvic floor muscles or a weakened urethral sphincter cause involuntary urine leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Urethral bulking works by injecting a biocompatible material into the urethral wall to improve closure and prevent leakage.

Edgbaston Wellness Clinic offers expert urethral bulking treatments as a safe and effective alternative to surgery. This quick outpatient procedure provides long-lasting relief, helping women regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Understanding Urethral Bulking

Urethral bulking involves injecting a soft, bulking agent into the tissues of the urethra to support its function and reduce urinary leakage. It is a well-tolerated treatment that requires no incisions and has minimal downtime.

What is Urethral Bulking?

Urethral bulking is a minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the urethral wall by adding volume, helping it close more effectively during physical activities that trigger urine leakage. It is particularly beneficial for women who prefer a non-surgical approach to treating stress urinary incontinence.
