The present invention is to treat urinary incontinence, which is one of the diseases caused by childbirth and menopause of women, and more particularly relates to a urinary incontinence treatment apparatus for treating urinary incontinence by lifting and fixing the sagging urethra.

In general, urinary incontinence is an involuntary urination effect that interferes with daily life. When the abdominal pressure rises due to coughing, sneezing, or exercise, the pressure of the bladder is higher than the pressure in the urethra. It occurs in 30-47% of healthy middle-aged women, and one-third of the patients are on average 38 years of age, which can cause them to abandon their social activities or suffer severe depression.

The causes of urinary incontinence are, first, in the case of weak urethral sphincter with short urethra length, weak closing force due to impaired or damaged support base of urethra itself, repetitive pregnancy, childbirth or surgery to support bladder and urethra If the pelvic muscles are weakened and the bladder sags downward, the nerves supporting the sphincter are partially damaged during childbirth, and the sphincter is weakened.

As a method of treating urinary incontinence caused by the above causes, there are non-surgical treatments such as drug treatment, pelvic floor muscle training, and surgical methods.

However, the drug treatment method as described above has to take the drug regularly for a long time and may cause side effects such as anxiety, tremor, drowsiness, tachycardia, and also has a problem inadequate use for patients with hypertension.

In addition, the pelvic floor muscle training method is effective as a treatment method for preventing and treating urinary incontinence by increasing the closing force of the urethra through contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles that surround and support the urethra, vagina and the perianal region about 100 to 200 times a day. It takes a long time to get the strengthening effect of the pelvic floor muscles, and it was very difficult to exercise the pelvic floor muscles correctly.

In addition, when the surgical procedure is performed, it was a fact that the urinary incontinence is often recurred, especially when a laparotomy is required, a significant mental and economic burden.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, by having a fixing member for lifting up the sacred urethral part to fix it, the treatment method is simple and immediately obtain a therapeutic effect, thereby incontinence The goal is to save time and money spent on treatment.
