What Is Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)?

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), sometimes called stress incontinence, is a condition where unwanted bladder leaks occur throughout normal daily activities including coughing, laughing, and/or exercise.

How Can Bulkamid Help?

Bulkamid is a urethral bulking agent that is used to treat stress urinary incontinence. It is a soft, water-based gel that can be used to restore the natural closing of the urethra. Similar to some facial fillers it remains in the body over time without causing reactions in the surrounding tissue¹.

Discover the Benefits of Bulkamid

I haven’t experienced another leak and I’d go as far to say it’s changed my life. Now, I’m really spreading the word about my positive experience amongst those of my friends who might otherwise have carried on “suffering in silence.”
