Bulkamid Treatment for Urinary Incontinence in Women
Bulkamid, a hydrogel used for treating stress incontinence (urinary leakage during sneezing, laughing, or fast walking) in women, is a filling substance composed of water, hydrogel, and polyacrylamide polymers.
It remains biocompatible and biostable in the body for a long time.
There is a 78% success rate in women with this type of urinary incontinence.
It is the first choice for treatment in patients who have previously undergone open surgery for stress incontinence (TOT, BURCH…).
European and American Urology Guidelines state that “laser applications to the vagina have no place in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women.”
How is Bulkamid Treatment Applied?
The procedure takes 10-15 minutes.
It is performed under general anesthesia.
The patient is discharged on the same day.
The procedure is endoscopic, meaning it is a minimally invasive surgery. The substance is injected into the bladder neck through the external urethra.
What are the Advantages of Bulkamid Treatment?
– It is a minimally invasive procedure.
– It is applied only through injection.
– It is effective for a long time.
– It can be repeated.
– It has no side effects.
Who is Bulkamid Treatment for?
Bulkamid (Hydrogel) is used particularly for women experiencing stress incontinence who have not had success with other treatment methods or who prefer not to undergo surgical intervention. This treatment significantly improves the quality of life for patients who experience urinary leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or fast walking, allowing them to perform daily activities more comfortably.
