SUI is when urine leaks out during moments of physical activity that increases abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.
This condition is caused by a weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, which usually tends to happen as we get older, with pregnancy and with certain pelvic floor conditions.
If you struggle with bladder leaks when doing any of these, then you may
suffer from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
Did you know that stress urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects 1 in 3 women at some point in their Iives.1 In fact, in the US, more feminine pads are used for incontinence than for menstruation.2
Dealing with stress urinary incontinence can be frustrating, struggling with embarrassing bladder leaks. But luckily there is a treatment option available to help you regain bladder control.
Bulkamid is a urethral bulking agent that is used to treat stress urinary incontinence. It is a soft, water-based gel that can be used to restore the natural closing of the urethra.
The majority of women with SUI choose Bulkamid before other treatment options.3
Safe and Effective: 92% of women reported being cured or improved following treatment with Bulkamid.4
Simple Procedure: The procedure is a series of 3-4 small injections that take around 10- 15 minutes in an outpatient setting under local anesthetic.
Long-lasting Relief: Bulkamid is clinically proven to deliver symptom relief out to seven years.5
“Suffering with stress urinary incontinence was embarrassing and terrifying. Now, I am ecstatic, and I love my ‘new urethra’ thanks to Bulkamid!”
