Incontinence can be a very stressful and humbling condition. Whether you are experiencing leakage as a result of childbirth, injury, or a different medical condition, this condition never ceases to be frustrating, especially when it returns after a previous surgery or treatment. Recurrent incontinence occurs when urinary leakage persists for six or more weeks after successful treatment of SUI. Dr. Darren Lazare helps treat urinary incontinence in Vancouver, whether it’s your first, second, or third time experiencing this condition, so it can hopefully be your last.

What Is Recurrent Incontinence?
Recurrent incontinence is a condition where urine involuntarily leaks out of the body despite previous treatments or interventions to correct the concern. This condition can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life, causing physical discomfort and emotional distress. Recurrent incontinence may stem from various underlying issues such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, or bladder dysfunction. Factors like aging, childbirth, obesity, and certain medical conditions can exacerbate the problem. Effective management typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to address the underlying cause and improve bladder control.
Recurrent Incontinence Treatment Recovery
Recovery can vary depending on what treatment method was used to correct your recurrent incontinence. In the case of surgical intervention, patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising at the surgical site. Prescribed pain medication can be used to manage any discomfort. You will also be advised to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for several weeks to allow the body to heal properly. Light activities and gentle walking are generally encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots. It is also important to follow specific postoperative care instructions, which may include pelvic floor exercises, avoiding constipation, maintaining good hygiene, and attending all follow-up appointments.

Who Is a Candidate for Recurrent Urinary Incontinence Treatment?

This can be an individual who experiences frequent urinary leakage that interferes with their daily activities to the point that it affects their quality of life. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the procedure.
