At King\u2019s Advanced Urinary Incontinence Clinic in Dubai, our UK board certified Functional Urologists offer comprehensive assessment, treatment and management of urinary incontinence. They follow evidence-based treatment methods and use the latest diagnostic tools and devices to help anyone suffering from what is still seen as a \u2018taboo\u2019 condition and one that they think cannot be medically managed.<\/p>\n

Types of Urinary Incontinence<\/h3>\n

Stress Incontinence:<\/strong> This type of urinary incontinence is related to physical stress whereby urine leaks during physical movement activities.<\/p>\n

Urge Incontinence:<\/strong> This causes an individual to have the urge to urinate suddenly and the leakage of urine at unexpected times.<\/p>\n

Overflow Incontinence:<\/strong> In this type of incontinence, the bladder does not empty completely, which leads to small amounts of urine to keep leaking unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

Functional Incontinence: This occurs when physical or psychological impairment doesn’t allow and individual to reach the toilet in time, and he\/she ends up urinating untimely.<\/p>\n

Mixed Incontinence<\/strong>: This is when one experiences at least two types of urinary incontinence at the same time. Most common ones are stress and urge incontinence.<\/p>\n

\"Urinary<\/p>\n

Urinary incontinence treatment at King\u2019s is highly dependent on the underlying cause of the condition. The treatment options available include:<\/p>\n

Emsella chair<\/strong>: The Emsella chair is a non-surgical and non-invasive stress urinary incontinence treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target weak pelvic floor muscles. This leads to deep pelvic floor stimulation non-surgically. For a single session, which is only 28 minutes, the chair produces 11,200 supramaximal Kegel exercises, which is essential for a strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and as a result treating Stress Urinary Incontinence.<\/p>\n

Urodynamics Testing<\/strong>: Urodynamics are continuous sets of diagnostic procedures that test how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra hold and release urine (lower urinary tract function). These tests are especially recommended for patients who have symptoms related to the lower urinary tract including urine leaking and\/or blockages.<\/p>\n

Transvaginal Tape (TVT):<\/strong> Transvaginal Tape is a minimally invasive procedure that is used in treating urodynamically proven stress incontinence in women. The procedure involves the placement of a small piece of polypropylene mesh (tape) around the pubic bones underneath the urethra.<\/p>\n

Rezum Procedure: <\/strong>The Rezum procedure, also known as Rezum Water Vapor Therapy, is a minimally invasive non-surgical technique that uses the natural energy stored in water vapor to minimize excess prostate tissue that may be pressing on the urethra as a result of Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), hence leading to urinary leakage.<\/p>\n

Sacral Neuromodulation<\/strong>: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a minimally invasive electrical stimulation procedure that is used to treat urinary incontinence. The procedure involves the implantation of a programmable stimulator subcutaneously, which delivers low amp electrical stimulation to the sacral nerve (plexus nerve that provides sensory to the posterior thigh).<\/p>\n

Behaviour therapies<\/strong>: These help in lessening episodes of Urinary Incontinence and they include:<\/p>\n
