Urinary Incontinence Self-Assessment Survey
If you have a leaky bladder you are not alone. Urinary incontinence is a problem that affects millions of women. These are the most common types of urinary incontinence:
  • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a medical condition that affects over 15 million women in the US. It involves involuntary leakage of urine during routine activities such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, sex, or exercise
  • Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is another medical condition. It is due to inappropriate contractions of the bladder often resulting in a sudden unexpected urge to urinate
  • Women with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) experience symptoms of both SUI and UUI
This short survey is designed to help you understand your urinary incontinence and whether the Renessa treatment for SUI might be right for you.

Many women don't want to undergo surgery for SUI. Others mistakenly accept SUI as a natural part of aging or childbirth. Renessa is a non-surgical treatment performed in the comfort of a doctor's office, or in an outpatient center, in a 45-minute to 1-hour visit. You can safely resume virtually all activities the same or next day.
