Surgery To Lift Bladder

HMC urology unit helps patients to fight incontinence

&Amp;ldquo;We have found that many people are still finding it difficult to openly discuss that they have urinary incontinence . They need not suffer in silence. It is high time they started discussing the problems with a physician as there are a number of ways they can be assisted and protected from the psychological, physiological and sociological effects of leaking urine,” Urology consultants Dr Adralan Ghafouri and Dr Omar Isam Mohamed Ali told Gulf Times yesterday. “Stress incontinence occurs during certain activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising while urge incontinence involves a strong, sudden need to urinate followed by instant bladder contraction and involuntary loss of urine. In this case, you don’t have enough time between when you recognise the need to urinate and when you actually do urinate and mixed incontinence involves more than one type of urinary incontinence,” he explained.  “The ability to hold urine and control urination depends on the normal function of the lower urinary tract, the kidneys and the nervous system. A patient must also have the ability to recognise and respond to the urge to urinate. The average adult bladder can hold over two cups (350ml-550 ml) of urine,” Dr Ghafouri explained adding that two muscles were involved in the control of urine flow: the sphincter, which is a circular muscle surrounding the urethra and the detrusor, which is the muscle of the bladder wall. “A person must be able to squeeze the sphincter muscle to prevent urine from leaking out and the detrusor muscle must stay relaxed so that the bladder can expand. In stress incontinence, the sphincter muscle and the pelvic muscles, which support the bladder and urethra, are weakened. The sphincter is not able to prevent urine flow when there is increased pressure from the abdomen such as when you cough, laugh, or lift something heavy,” he explained.

How painful is the bladder lift surgery in women? I have to have ...

I didn’t have it done, but my mom did a few years ago. It really wasn’t that bad. If I remember correctly we brought her home the same day it was done.

I remember her saying how sore her legs and hips were from the twisted position they had her in to do the surgery. But as far as pain from the surgery itself, it wasn’t bad at all. That might have been the surgery where she had to have a catheter in for a few days but she recovered quickly.

Even if you have a low pain tolerance, they will provide plenty of pain killers!
