Searching for the keyword "leakage of urine" on the internet shows that the results are mostly associated with women.
But in fact, men may also suffer from urinary incontinence, a "non-fatal social cancer", and its risk factors are clear, but they are easily overlooked.
A few days ago, the 78-year-old Peng Bo went to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (hereinafter referred to as "Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital") for severe urinary leakage and underwent a "strengthened version" of the male urethral ball suspension.
"Before the operation, I thought this was the end of my life"
Last year, Pember was diagnosed with "prostatic hyperplasia" for dysuria and underwent minimally invasive surgery locally. However, urinary leakage also appeared.
"At first, the doctor said it was a normal performance, but then the problem of urinary leakage became more and more serious. A dozen pairs of underwear a day, even the washed underwear is not too late to be completely dried, you have to replace it. In desperation, I also made my own urine bag to reduce the number of washes. In those dark days, Peng Bo went to many hospitals, but he was repeatedly disappointed.
In this life, or that's all there is to it.
Just when he was about to give up seeking medical treatment, with the support and encouragement of the child, Peng Bo rushed from Hunan to sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital in Guangzhou with his last hope. After the urine pad test, cystoscopy and other examinations, Pember was diagnosed with "pressure urinary incontinence", and urethral ball suspension can effectively solve such problems.
However, due to the muscular development of men, conventional urethral suspension can not achieve the desired effect, should we take a second place?
In view of the dilemma faced by male patients with stress urinary incontinence, Professor Huang Hai, deputy director of the Department of Lower Urinary Tract Diseases of the Department of Urology of the Hospital, used new synthetic materials to innovatively carry out the first "enhanced version" of male urethral ball suspension surgery in South China for patients.
The inverted "Wen" type implants the sling in front of the closed hole and the pubic bone, and is fixed and reinforced, which plays a role in lengthening the urethra, improving the tightness, and enhancing the ability to control urine to ensure that the problem of urinary leakage does not occur again.
"The whole procedure took less than an hour. After the operation, you only need to pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, avoid doing stubs, carrying heavy objects and other strenuous actions in a short period of time, which can basically be said to completely solve the problem of urinary leakage. Professor Huang Hai introduced.
At the hospital, Guangdong Health Online met Peng Bo. He went back to the hospital to thank the expert team, two weeks after the operation.
"I'm recovering well and I'm not leaking anymore!" Before the operation, we had no idea that the results would be so good. Peng Bo introduced with great vigor that after medical insurance write-off, the out-of-pocket part was only 8,000 yuan.
After this type of surgery
The incidence of urinary incontinence in men can reach 40%
Stress urinary incontinence refers to the absence of contraction of the detrusor muscles, involuntary leakage of urine caused by a sudden increase in abdominal pressure, and is common in coughing, sneezing, laughing, walking, moving, jumping and other sudden increases in abdominal pressure, which is high in women.
"Stress urinary incontinence in men often occurs after transurethral prostatectomy and radical prostate cancer resection. Excessive removal of prostate tissue leading to decreased urethral closure pressure is an important factor in the development of stress urinary incontinence. Professor Huang Hai further introduced that after transurethral prostatectomy, early transient stress urinary incontinence can reach 40%, and the incidence of long-term urinary incontinence is about 2.2%.
Either there is insufficient understanding of such diseases, or it is really difficult to talk about, and most patients in the clinic have progressed to moderate to severe. In this regard, Professor Huang Hai called on patients to have the courage to face the disease and treat the doctor as soon as possible. "Existing technology can solve this kind of problem very well, with small surgical injuries, fast recovery and stable effect." Many patients choose to avoid physically and mentally torturing, which is not worth it. ”
It is reported that in the newly released Fudan edition of the "2020 China Hospital Specialist Reputation Ranking", the Urology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital ranks among the top five in the country with absolute strength. The above-mentioned "enhanced version" of surgery has been carried out in the hospital, filling the technical gap in the surgical treatment of male stress urinary incontinence in Guangdong and even South China.
