Frequently Asked Questions
- How is stress incontinence different from urge incontinence?
- Stress incontinence is leakage with coughing, laughing or lifting, without the urge to void, caused by pelvic floor weakness. Urge incontinence is a sudden, uncontrollable need to void with leakage before reaching the toilet, caused by involuntary bladder contractions. Treatments differ.
- What is a TOT sling operation?
- A 20-30 minute procedure in which a thin tape is placed under the urethra through a small vaginal incision. Patients usually go home the same or next day and resume daily life within days; long-term dry rates are high.
- How long until pelvic floor exercises work?
- Done correctly and regularly, noticeable improvement usually begins within 6-12 weeks; exercises should be continued for at least 3 months. A physiotherapist and biofeedback help ensure the right muscles are trained.
- Are there options if bladder medication fails?
- Yes: intravesical botulinum toxin injection, tibial nerve stimulation and sacral neuromodulation are effective for overactive bladder that does not respond to medication.
