@Marlondb In my case, the root of my incontinence is Neurogenic Bladder, so no, there is no surgery to correct that.
Overall, when it comes to female incontinence, we have farrrrrrrr fewer options than you men do.
Some women who had multiple pregnancies can insert a pessary into their vagina, which only helps with stress incontinence. It’s similar to a diaphragm used for birth control. It puts pressure on the vaginal wall in an attempt to apply pressure on the urethra. They’re obnoxious, awkward, painful, and sometimes slip out. They have no benefit for OAB, nocturia, enuresis, etc.
Women can have a hysterectomy to prevent/halt uterine and bladder prolapse. Prolapse occurs when all your guts slip out your vagina, sometimes including your bladder. Prolapse is vile, and happens to most women eventually. My great aunts survived it.
A hysterectomy as a solution is no picnic. It’s one of the riskiest and longest surgeries done on humans. The recovery is also very risky and a nightmare. I know because I’ve had one. They cut out a lot more than just the uterus. You’re never the same again, chemically. Your personality changes forever. It sucks.
It’s hilarious to me how men cringe at the idea of inserting something as puny as a laxative into their body, while we women have to put things in our body five days a month, for nearly every month of our lives, AND things like pessaries, yeast infection medication, catheters, and on and on and on.
It’s nobody’s fault, but it’s obnoxious. Men have it so easy. You have so fewer internal tissues that can become cancerous than do women. It’s not fair, but it’s life... or sometimes death.
