Artificial urinary sphincter

An artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is an implanted device to treat moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence, most commonly in men.

See Stress incontinence and Artificial urinary sphincter

Bladder

The bladder is a hollow organ in humans and other vertebrates that stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination.

See Stress incontinence and Bladder

Bladder training

Bladder training, also known as scheduled voiding and bladder re-education is urinating at specific times of the day.

See Stress incontinence and Bladder training

Cough

A cough is a sudden expulsion of air through the large breathing passages which can help clear them of fluids, irritants, foreign particles and microbes.

See Stress incontinence and Cough

Cystometry

Cystometry, also known as flow cystometry, is a clinical diagnostic procedure used to evaluate bladder function.

See Stress incontinence and Cystometry

Exercise

Exercise is physical activity that enhances or maintains fitness and overall health.

See Stress incontinence and Exercise

Fascia

A fascia (fasciae or fascias; adjective fascial; from Latin: "band") is a generic term for macroscopic membranous bodily structures. Fasciae are classified as superficial, visceral or deep, and further designated according to their anatomical location.

Incontinence pad

An incontinence pad is a small, impermeable multi-layered sheet with high absorbency that is used in the incontinence and health-care industries as a precaution against fecal or urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence and incontinence pad are urinary incontinence.

Kegel exercise

Kegel exercise, also known as pelvic floor exercise, involves repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the "Kegel muscles".

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) with the aid of a camera.

See Stress incontinence and Laparoscopy

Laughter

Laughter is a pleasant physical reaction and emotion consisting usually of rhythmical, often audible contractions of the diaphragm and other parts of the respiratory system.

See Stress incontinence and Laughter

Menopause

Menopause, also known as the climacteric, is the time when menstrual periods permanently stop, marking the end of reproduction.

See Stress incontinence and Menopause

Menstrual cycle

The menstrual cycle is a series of natural changes in hormone production and the structures of the uterus and ovaries of the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible.

See Stress incontinence and Menstrual cycle

Pelvic floor

The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is an anatomical location in the human body, which has an important role in urinary and anal continence, sexual function and support of the pelvic organs.

See Stress incontinence and Pelvic floor

Pelvic organ prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is characterized by descent of pelvic organs from their normal positions into the vagina.

See Stress incontinence and Pelvic organ prolapse

Perineometer

A Kegel perineometer or vaginal manometer is an instrument for measuring the strength of voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles.

See Stress incontinence and Perineometer

Pessary

A pessary is a prosthetic device inserted into the vagina for structural and pharmaceutical purposes.

See Stress incontinence and Pessary

Prostate

The prostate is both an accessory gland of the male reproductive system and a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation.

See Stress incontinence and Prostate

Prostatectomy

Prostatectomy (from the Greek προστάτης prostátēs, "prostate" and ἐκτομή ektomē, "excision") is the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland.

See Stress incontinence and Prostatectomy

Retropubic space

Retropubic space is a potential avascular space located between the pubic symphysis and the urinary bladder.

See Stress incontinence and Retropubic space

Robot-assisted surgery

Robot-assisted surgery or robotic surgery are any types of surgical procedures that are performed using robotic systems.

Sling (implant)

In surgery, a sling is an implant that is intended to provide additional support to a particular tissue.

See Stress incontinence and Sling (implant)

Sneeze

A sneeze (also known as sternutation) is a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa.

See Stress incontinence and Sneeze

Transurethral resection of the prostate

Transurethral resection of the prostate (commonly known as a TURP, plural TURPs, and rarely as a transurethral prostatic resection, TUPR) is a urological operation.

See Stress incontinence and Transurethral resection of the prostate

Urethra

The urethra (urethras or urethrae) is the tube that connects the mammalian urinary bladder to the urinary meatus.

See Stress incontinence and Urethra

Urethral sphincters

The urethral sphincters are two muscles used to control the exit of urine in the urinary bladder through the urethra.

See Stress incontinence and Urethral sphincters

Urethropexy

A urethropexy is a surgical procedure where support is provided to the urethra.

See Stress incontinence and Urethropexy

Urinary incontinence
