Female SUI: Bulking – Summary
Alexandra Rogers, MD, focuses on female stress urinary incontinence and treatment options. In this 12-minute presentation, she begins by reviewing updates in the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines for treatment options.
Dr. Rogers discusses slings, a longstanding treatment since 1998, which remain effective. Rogers also highlights the growing popularity of bulking agents, particularly the polyacrylamide hydrogel approved in 2020, noting its safety and repeatability. As a less invasive alternative that can be performed in an office setting, bulking agents offer an acceptable risk-benefit ratio for many patients, especially those hesitant to undergo invasive procedures.
Rogers discusses the importance of offering multiple treatment options to those with SUI, with a focus on minimizing complications and recovery time.
