Stress Urinary Incontinence: End the Embarrassment
Accidental urine leakage is no laughing matter. And yet it happens every single day to countless women simply by laughing. Or coughing. Or through the simple action of picking up a child.
Many women are surprised to learn that urinary incontinence affects more than 13 million American women. The problem is so common, occurring in women as young as age 25; yet no one wants to talk about it. In fact, many women change their entire lives to avoid activities in which they might have an accident. Fortunately, you don’t have to be that person.
TVT, a minimally invasive procedure covered by most insurance plans, is a revolutionary new treatment. TVT is performed on an outpatient basis, recovery time is 2 to 3 days, and its success rate is greater than 90%.
TVT stops urine leakage the way your body was designed to – by supporting your urethra. TVT can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The outpatient procedure is minimally invasive, requiring 2 tiny incisions near the groin. Most women experience very little or no discomfort after the procedure, and are able to return to normal activity the next day.

“The amount of money that I spent on pads and diapers each month added up. Also, having to wear these for precautions left me with rashes, sores and chafing. I was miserable.” “
For a long time, I ignored it thinking it would go away. I didn’t want to believe that I had a problem. It took me months to finally take control and do something with TVT.”
“I wish that TVT was presented to me as a first option, because I would have taken it immediately. I now visit the bathroom with intention, not panic or urgency. I’m grateful for TVT.”
