Confidence restored with Zuidex™

Understanding urine leakage

Urine leakage, or urinary incontinence, is not something you have to live with. Nor is it just a normal part of ageing. Urinary incontinence is very common and affects 3 out of every 10 women, half of whom have stress incontinence.

Symptoms of stress incontinence can include leakage of urine during normal everyday activities such as laughing, coughing or jumping. One of the most common causes is childbirth.

Urine leakage can be a substantial burden. Sometimes it is an embarrassing problem to live with. Other times it may affect self-esteem, or place unnecessary stress on relationships.

Many women believe that urine leakage is not a medical problem, but it is. The first step to solving the problem is to discuss your symptoms with your doctor or healthcare professional. Once a diagnosis has been made, you can then discuss treatment options which may include Zuidex™.

Zuidex™ treatment

Zuidex™ is a new and innovative treatment designed to help you overcome stress urinary incontinence in a safe and easy way. It is proven to help you become drier without the inconveniences associated with surgery.

Zuidex™ gel consists of two natural substances, which are easily accepted by the body. No allergic reactions have been noted. Zuidex™ gel has been used safely in more than 20,000 children around the world for correction of problems related to the bladder.

The procedure

Zuidex™ is placed along the urethra (the tube which runs from your bladder to the outside) in order to achieve better closure and help prevent urine leakage.

You will receive an anaesthetic before the procedure to help prevent discomfort. In most cases only a local anaesthetic is needed. The procedure is safe and quick. You will not have to stay in hospital overnight, and you can return quickly to your normal activities after the procedure.
