Urinary Incontinence Surgery Treatment in India

Sophia Chopra, a 58-year-old high school principal, had always been a pillar of strength in her community. For the past five years, she had been living with increasing stress urinary incontinence. It began with small leaks during a cough or laugh, but progressed to the point where she had to wear pads daily and was terrified of public speaking or long meetings. Her active lifestyle, which included hiking and yoga, was severely curtailed. After trying pelvic floor physiotherapy and medication with only modest improvement, her general surgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended a mid-urethral sling procedure. Sophia was terrified of surgery but desperate for a solution. The procedure was done as a day surgery under spinal anesthesia. The first few days of recovery were uncomfortable, with some pain and urgency, but she followed her post-op instructions meticulously. Within six weeks, she was back to her full routine, leak-free. The emotional relief was profound. She felt she had regained not just bladder control, but her confidence and freedom, no longer planning her life around bathroom locations.
