Urinary Incontinence Stem Cell therapy at Midciti hospital
At Midciti hospital we offer Stem Cell Therapy for urinary incontinence to regenerate the damaged sphincter improve its strength and function, along with stem cells we also provide Shockwave therapy, muscle and nerve stimulator and bladder training to maximize the results.
Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence means a person leaks urine by accident. While it can happen to anyone, urinary incontinence, also known as overactive bladder, is more common in older people, especially women.
Types of urinary incontinence
There are different types of incontinence:
Stress incontinence
occurs when urine leaks as pressure is put on the bladder, such as during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting heavy objects. It’s the most common type of bladder control problem in younger and middle-aged women. It also may begin later, around the time of menopause.
Urge incontinence
happens when people have a sudden need to urinate and cannot hold their urine long enough to get to the toilet. It may be a problem for people who have ⦁ diabetes, ⦁ Alzheimer’s disease, ⦁ Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or ⦁ stroke.
Causes
- Urinary tract infections, vaginal infection or irritation, or ⦁ constipation, some medications
- Weak bladder or pelvic floor muscles
- Overactive bladder muscles
- Damage to nerves that control the bladder from diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ⦁ diabetes, or ⦁ Parkinson’s disease
- Diseases such as ⦁ arthritis that may make it difficult to get to the bathroom in time
- Pelvic organ prolapse, which is when pelvic organs (such as the bladder, rectum, or uterus) shift out of their normal place into the vagina or anus. When pelvic organs are out of place, the bladder and urethra are not able to work normally, which may cause urine to leak.
Most incontinence in men is related to the prostate gland. Male incontinence may be caused by:
- Prostatitis, a painful inflammation of the prostate gland
- Injury or damage to nerves or muscles from surgery
- An enlarged prostate gland, which can lead to ⦁ benign prostate hyperplasia, a condition in which the prostate grows as men age
How Stem Cells does works to treat Urinary Incontinence?
- Minimally-invasive stem cell therapy for stress and urge urinary incontinence may provide an effective nonsurgical treatment for urinary incontinence.
- Stem cells are unique due to their ability to proliferate, self-renew, and produce a population of differentiated progeny, making them a promising therapy in the field of regenerative medicine.
- The concept of regenerative medicine is based on the regeneration of the damaged rhabdosphincter, with improvements in the function of the external (striated) muscles and internal (smooth) muscles, as well as the blood circulation of the sphincter.
- The stem cells persist in the bladder for up to six months. They grow to become the same sort of muscle that makes up the bladder sphincter, improving its strength.
How does Electrical and Muscle stimulation works?
Electrical and muscle stimulator for an overactive bladder (OAB) involves sending an electrical current to the nerves and muscles that play a role in bladder function. The goal of the treatment is to suppress bladder contractions that squeeze out urine.
Bladder training program how it works?
Bladder training is used to treat urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Bladder training can increase how long you can wait before having to urinate. It can also help your bladder hold more urine and give you better control over the urge to urinate.
Bladder training program includes:
Kegel exercises
Pelvic floor strengthening
Timed Voiding training
