Studies show that 20“46% of women of reproductive age and 40“69% of women going through menopause experience urinary incontinence. Many women attempt to cope with this issue alone, often by isolating themselves from social activities and staying at home. Over time, beyond the physical challenges, urinary incontinence can also lead to other pathological conditions. Liv Hospital Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Op. Dr. Sibel Malkoc, discusses the non-surgical laser treatment for urinary incontinence, a problem that negatively affects both social and professional life.
Laser treatment is possible
Urinary incontinence can be treated with the Incontilase method (Laser Treatment for Urinary Incontinence) without the need for surgery, anesthesia, incisions, or sutures. Incontilase is an effective treatment option for mild to moderate stress and mixed urinary incontinence. Using Er:YAG laser technology, it tightens the urethral region and the anterior wall of the bladder through its photothermal (heat) effect. Most patients require only a single session, but an additional session may be performed one month later if necessary.

- Short operation that lasts 20-25 minutes.
- Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
- An effective method with a high success rate and excellent patient satisfaction.
- There are no risks of complications or side effects.
