The Role of Platelet Rich Plasma Injections in Cases of Stress Incontinence

Urinary incontinence can impact on one's social, physical, mental, and sexual wellbeing, and lead to depression and social isolation Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the involuntary leakage of urine accompanying physical exertion (i.e. coughing, exercise, and sneezing). It is commonly acquired after pregnancy and childbirth due to the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra against the anterior vaginal wall. Current SUI treatment includes surgery to re-establish sufficient urethral resistance in order to prevent urine leakage during increased intra-abdominal pressure.
