What Are the Symptoms of Needing a Bladder Lift?
One of the main indicators that you may need a Bladder Lift is stress incontinence, which occurs when urine leakage happens after sneezing, coughing, laughing, or other activities that increase abdominal pressure. Stress incontinence can occur as a result of childbirth, menopause, surgery, or weakness in the muscles that support the bladder and urethra. This weakening of the pelvic floor muscles can lead to the bladder not being properly supported, causing urinary leakage during physical activity or even while performing everyday tasks.
In addition to Stress Incontinence, other symptoms may include urgency or a frequent need to urinate, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, or urinary retention. If these symptoms are present, a bladder lift may help address the underlying structural issues contributing to incontinence. If you suspect you may have stress incontinence, you should see a healthcare professional for an evaluation. Seeking a second opinion or consulting with a specialist in pelvic health can help determine whether a bladder lift or other treatment options are appropriate.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing symptoms and preventing further complications related to Pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence.
