BLADDER LIFT FOR LASTING BLADDER CONTROL

Your bladder and urethra are supported by a network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue within the pelvic floor. Over time, especially with pregnancy, childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes, these structures can weaken or shift, reducing support and leading to leakage or loss of control. A bladder lift is a procedure that restores proper positioning and support for the bladder and urethra, helping you regain control in your daily life. A bladder lift can help address:

  • Stress urinary incontinence during movement
  • Leakage when coughing, sneezing, or laughing
  • Weak urethral support
  • Bladder descent or mild prolapse
  • Loss of control during exercise or activity

HOW THE BLADDER LIFT WORKS

The procedure begins by identifying the weakened support structures around the bladder and urethra. Through small, carefully placed incisions, your provider accesses the pelvic tissues that maintain bladder position. These tissues may have stretched or shifted over time, reducing their ability to keep the urethra properly closed during pressure changes like coughing or movement.
A supportive material, such as a sling or your own tissue, is then positioned beneath the urethra. This acts like a hammock, restoring the correct angle and stability needed for proper urinary control. By reinforcing this area, the urethra can remain closed under increased pressure, preventing involuntary leakage and urinary incontinence.
Once the support is secured, the surrounding tissues are adjusted and stabilized to maintain long-term positioning. Over time, your body integrates the support structure, improving strength and function, so you can regain consistent bladder control in daily life.
