Urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by uncontrolled urine leakage.
It is a fairly common condition that typically affects middle-aged and elderly men.
In cases of urinary incontinence, involuntary urination is accompanied by frequent and intense pressure on the bladder. The patient cannot retain their urine, which often occurs in a sudden stream.
The causes of these symptoms can be bladder infections, bladder cancer, neurological diseases, spinal cord injuries, bladder injuries after pelvic radiation therapy, or foreign bodies in the bladder.
The most common cause of incontinence in men, despite modern surgical technologies, is sphincter damage (the valve-like device that regulates the passage of contents from one organ of the body to another) during radical surgery for prostate cancer.
As with urinary incontinence, the patient experiences uncontrolled bowel movements.
Solution:
Platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient's own blood is injected directly into the damaged sphincter and surrounding tissues.
Weak muscles are regenerated, and the regulating functions of the sphincter are restored.
The same effect is achieved by injecting platelet-rich plasma into the damaged anal sphincter if the patient suffers from fecal incontinence.
