New material improves treatment.
2003 JUN 12 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- At least 40% of postmenopausal women suffer from stress urinary incontinence, according to researchers who are developing a new material that could eventually offer better treatment for the condition.
Researchers at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands have developed a new form of "bulking agent," a material that can be injected into the urethra to stiffen the soft tissues around the bladder and control involuntary leakage.
The findings appear in Biomacromolecules.
Stress incontinence - the most common type of incontinence - occurs when muscles in the pelvis are too weak to support the bladder and urethra. Simple everyday activities such as coughing, sneezing and physical exercise can cause urine to leak involuntarily. One in 10 people over the age of 65 suffer from urinary incontinence, according to the National Institute on Aging, and women are more likely to suffer from the condition than men. The condition can also occur in women whose muscles have been weakened by childbirth.
