What surgical procedure is required to stop urine 'leakage?
To address urine leakage, also known as urinary incontinence, a common surgical procedure is a mid-urethral sling procedure, such as the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) or the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure. These procedures involve placing a mesh tape under the mid-portion of the urethra to provide support and prevent involuntary leakage. Other surgical options may include Burch colposuspension or artificial urinary sphincter placement, depending on the specific type and severity of incontinence. Consultation with a urologist or urogynecologist is essential to determine the most appropriate procedure for the individual.
Can the urinary bladder burst from holding it in too long?
Answer 1: Yes but i luv 2 hold it Answer 2: (Elladine) - If the urethra is blocked by something, deliberately or otherwise, yes; it will burst upward into the body cavity. But most of the time the result of holding back from urinating is more likely to be UTIs (urinary tract infections) and, very rarely, the onset of interstitial cystitis (as in a case history recounted by Urogynecologist Larrian Gillespie). And eventually your body, specifically your nervous system (central and autonomic) will overpower your will and force you into incontinence, as a defense against internal damage. When it does this, it will not empty your bladder completely, so it is important - if you do wait so long you lose control - to get to a toilet and finish emptying it. If it stings and burns, you already have a UTI. I got a kidney infection this way once (but without losing control) and a good friend of mine never let me forget it. Take care of yourself! No one has the right to demand of you that you harm your health.
What causes kidney stones?
Kidney stones form over years, finally becoming painful once they are at least a millimeter in length (some grow many times that large); the pain becomes worse if the stone lodges in the ureter; in that case, a device called a stent must be inserted to help prop the opening wide enough so that the stone will not block the flow of urine coming down the ureter into the bladder; if it does, hydronephrosis (backing up of fluid in the kidney) results.Kidney stones are caused primarily by chronic mild to moderate dehydration, repeatedly going on for many years, making it difficult for the kidney to use enough water to dilute the waste going out. But there are also other factors, including hereditary predisposition, and diet -- items that are otherwise healthy, like spinach, can contribute to the formation of kidney stones in some people.Since not all people may have the same causes for this, seeing a good urologist (or, in the case of women, possibly a urogynecologist) is the place to start.
