Stress urinary incontinence Treatment in Houston, TX
Stop Stressing About Urinary Incontinence
Bulkamid
You’re afraid to sneeze, or worried about a surprise coughing fit. You want to exercise, but that may cause more than sweat to stain your clothing.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) most frequently occurs when women’s pelvic tissues and muscles become weak and no longer control the flow of urine.
Bulkamid® for urethral bulking provides long-lasting results to address the symptoms of SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence)!

How It Works
Step 1
First, contact ChristiMD Medical Group for an initial consultation.
We'll talk with you openly and honestly, asking and answering any and all questions. If Bulkamid injections prove to be the best stress urinary incontinence treatment in Houston, TX, we'll schedule your procedure.
Step 2
Bulkamid is an urethral bulking agent, consisting of 97.5% water and 2.5% polyacrylamide.
After numbing the area with local anesthetic, Dr. Christi will use a small scope to inject Bulkamid into the wall of the urethra. This helps prevent urine from leaking out of the bladder during normal daily activities by providing a tighter "seal."
Step 3
For best results, you'll need 3 to 4 injections.
Each minimally-invasive procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes and can be done in combination with other SUI treatments.
