Urinary Incontinence Can Be Corrected with Laser Procedure

Urinary incontinence is a common complaint among women, increasing with age and menopause. Research indicates that approximately 17% of women will experience SUI. Currently, numerous treatments involve local surgeries, requiring the patient to rest or undergo tape insertions (Slings). With the use of ERBIUM FOTONA, applications are performed on an outpatient basis, without discomfort, incisions, or bleeding, leading to rapid recovery and resumption of sexual activities. The laser procedure performed by ERBIUM FOTONA yields results with an 86% patient approval rate, according to publications in "Minimally Invasive Laser Therapy for Stress and Mixed Urinary Incontinence in Women" and presented by Dr. Sabina Sencar at the last World Congress of Urogynecology in Dublin (2013).

As the title suggests, this is a non-ablative (non-burning), fractional laser treatment that is introduced into the vagina via a special handpiece. From this, light is emitted, stimulating the vaginal wall, improving hydration, and promoting collagen formation. Clinical treatment aims to rehabilitate the pelvic floor structures, offering the advantage of a low complication rate and a secondary benefit of improved female sexual performance. The ERBIUM FOTONA laser is immensely valuable as it effectively treats this condition without the need for surgery, incisions, or hospitalizations. Furthermore, the procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary.

This procedure is superior to conventional methods, firstly, because it is performed on an outpatient basis without hospitalization. Secondly, there is no need for infiltrative anesthesia; in some cases, topical anesthetic cream may be required, which should be applied to the vagina 30 minutes before the procedure. Other advantages of this procedure include being performed without incisions, bleeding, or pain during or after the procedure, with an 85% satisfaction rate reported by patients who did not undergo any surgery, suturing, or foreign body insertions.
