Stress Urinary Incontinence is the most common type affecting women and occurs when the muscles around the pelvis and sphincter are weakened or stretched. SUI often affects women who have had multiple pregnancies with vaginal childbirths or have had a hysterectomy.
Although there are a number of treatment options for Stress Urinary Incontinence, recent reports suggest the use of vaginal mesh implants should be avoided.
While many have seen commercials advising of vaginal mesh implant side effects most people don’t know that the FDA has issued two warnings about these devices and several studies have identified serious post-surgical complications.
