About

Previous studies Results show (PRP) is safe and effective in treating SUI, other studies show the result of energy base devices (Co2 laser, HIFU) are effective in treating of SUI .

This study add the effect both HIFU and PRP together in treating SUI.

Full description

What is stress urinary incontinence (SUI)? Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is when urine leaks out with sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra, causing the sphincter muscles to open briefly. With mild SUI, pressure may be from sudden forceful activities, like exercise, sneezing, laughing or coughing. If your SUI is more severe, you may also leak with less forceful activities like standing up, walking or bending over. Urinary "accidents" like this can range from a few drops of urine to enough to soak through the clothes SUI is a very common bladder problem for women. Key SUI statics About half of women age 65 and above find that they sometimes leak urine. How can SUI Affect life? Many people find that SUI gets in the way of daily and social activities. It can affect family and sexual relationships. Some people even begin to feel isolated and hopeless because of it The pelvic floor supports the bladder and urethra. If this area gets stretched, weakened or damaged, then SUI can happen. Pregnancy and childbirth can cause this.

PRP is extremely rich in growth factors and cytokines which regulate tissue reconstruction, PRP is an easily procedure and relatively inexpensive biological material, it is produce directly from patient blood and inject PRP under urethra to restore bulbourethral ligment .

HIFU is an energy-based medical technology with many clinical applications, a device is a non-invasive procedure that provides collagen remodeling and synthesis that may repair and restore pelvic floor and pubourethral ligment, it is non-invasive therapeutic technique, that uses non-ionized ultrasonic waves that provides collagen that tight the endopelvic fascia and adjacent tissues .
