A sling procedure is a surgical treatment for stress incontinence. It involves placing a supportive sling (a small mesh or tissue) under the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder) to help keep it in place. The sling supports the bladder and prevents urine leakage, especially during physical activities like laughing, coughing, or exercising.
Think of it like a “support belt” for your bladder.
If other treatments, like pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), lifestyle changes, or medications, haven’t worked, a sling procedure might be a good option. It’s typically recommended for women who have moderate to severe stress incontinence and want long-term relief.
The procedure is relatively simple and involves these steps:

In many cases, stress incontinence can be managed or treated effectively, but it may not always be "cured" completely. Non-surgical treatments, such as pelvic floor exercises, can improve symptoms significantly. In more severe cases, surgery may offer long-term relief, but there is always the possibility of recurrence or the need for on-going management.
Kegel exercises involve tightening and relaxing the muscles of the pelvic floor, which support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Strengthening these muscles can improve bladder control and reduce the symptoms of stress incontinence.
How to do Kegel exercises:
Kegel exercises may take several weeks to show improvement, but they are often one of the most effective non-surgical treatments.
Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, which helps decrease the likelihood or severity of stress incontinence. Obesity is a significant risk factor, as excess weight can put added pressure on the pelvic organs.
Yes, lifestyle modifications can help improve symptoms of stress incontinence:
Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments like pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes do not provide sufficient relief or if the incontinence is severe. The two main surgical options for stress incontinence are:
Yes, men can also experience stress incontinence, although it is more common in women. Men may develop stress incontinence following prostate surgery, such as prostatectomy, or as a result of aging and weakening pelvic muscles.
Yes, if left untreated, stress incontinence can worsen. The condition tends to get more severe with age, especially if contributing factors such as childbirth, obesity, or chronic coughing are not addressed. Early treatment can help manage the condition and prevent progression.
