Colposuspension
Whatis "Colposuspension" surgery?
Age and vaginal childbirth takes it toll on women's pelvic organs.
"FemaleUrinary Incontinence" is one of the problems most (over 50%) women who havedelivered babies vaginally have to contend with. Women with Female UrinaryIncontinence "leak" urine when they strain, cough, laugh or run.This condition is also called "stress urinary incontinence" meaning the stress of physical activity, not emotionalstress is causing her to "leak" urine.
The problemsassociated with female urinary incontinence are corrected in the the "floor" of thewoman's pelvis by several methods or types of surgeries - one of which is calledColposuspension.
Awoman's pelvic floor is a sheet of special muscles and ligaments that stretch across the inside of thefemale pelvis. Women can feel it "tighten" when they try to hold backthe flow of urine - or when they strain, cough, laugh or run. The uterus andbladder are located above the pelvic floor. The vagina and the opening of the bladder (the urethra) pass through thepelvic floor. If the pelvic floor weakens, the uterus and bladder "drop" down. The control of the urine isthereby weakened.
Colposuspensionsurgery strengthens the pelvic floor to lift, or "suspend" the uterus and bladder back upto their correct position within the woman's pelvis
Colposuspensioncomes from the Greek word for vagina - "colpos."
