What treatments are available for leaking urine after peeing?
Leaking urine after peeing can be treated with pelvic floor exercises or surgery, depending on the cause.
Explanation
Leaking urine after peeing can be due to different reasons, and treatment depends on the cause. One common approach is doing pelvic floor exercises, which help strengthen the muscles that control urination. These exercises can be very effective for many people.
In some cases, surgery might be considered, especially if exercises don't help enough. One type of surgery is called a midurethral sling, which supports the urethra to help control urine leakage. However, some people may experience overactive bladder symptoms even after this surgery. It's important to talk with a healthcare provider to find the best treatment for your situation.
