One of the main indicators that you may need a bladder lift is stress incontinence which occurs when urine leakage happens after sneezing, coughing, laughing, etc. Stress incontinence can happen because of childbirth, menopause, surgery, or a problem with the muscles in the bladder and urethra. If you suspect you may have stress incontinence, you should see a professional about it, or if you've been told you have the condition, you may want a second opinion from a specialist. There may be other instances when bladder lift surgery is necessary. At the office of Dr. Richard Beyerlein MD, we'll help you decide whether the procedure is right for you.
