Results for tag: "Stress Incontinence"

Stress Incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence that occurs when physical activity or exertion puts pressure on the bladder, resulting in the involuntary leakage of urine. It is a common condition that affects both men and women, and is most often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles or damage to the nerves that control the bladder. It is a major concern in Urology and Nephrology, as it can lead to a decrease in quality of life and can be a sign of more serious underlying conditions. Treatment for Stress Incontinence typically involves lifestyle changes, such as avoiding certain foods and drinks, and pelvic floor exercises. In more severe cases, medications or surgery may be necessary. Devices such as urethral inserts, pessaries, and slings are also used to help manage the condition. Companies in the Stress Incontinence market include Allergan, Astellas Pharma, Coloplast, Cook Medical, C.R. Bard, and Medtronic. Show Less Read more
