I’m Dr. Sawsan Merhej, and I understand how stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can affect your daily life. If you’ve been experiencing involuntary urine leakage during physical activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising, you’re not alone. This condition is common, but it doesn’t have to control your life. I’m here to provide compassionate and effective solutions to help you regain control and improve your quality of life.
What Is Stress Urinary Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when physical activity or pressure on the bladder causes unintentional urine leakage. It can be triggered by:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Laughing
- Lifting heavy objects
- Exercising
This happens when the muscles and tissues supporting the bladder and urethra weaken, often due to factors like childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes.
Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence
The main symptom of SUI is urine leakage during physical movements. This can vary in severity, from occasional leaks to more frequent incidents that may impact your daily routine.
Treatment Options for SUI
I offer a range of treatment options for stress urinary incontinence, tailored to your needs:
- Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels): Strengthening the pelvic muscles can reduce the severity of leakage.
- Lifestyle Changes: Simple adjustments like limiting caffeine, managing fluid intake, and maintaining a healthy weight can improve symptoms.
- Laser Therapy: A non-invasive procedure to tighten the vaginal tissues and support bladder function.
- Surgical Solutions: In more severe cases, I may recommend minimally invasive procedures such as a sling surgery to provide long-term relief.
