PRF for urinary incontinence
Healing Art Centers in Lowell, Arkansas offers PRF evaluation for urinary leakage. Dr. Tammy’s procedure uses four injections around the outside of the urethra. Understanding why you leak comes first: stress leakage, urgency, and difficulty emptying the bladder need different assessments and may require different treatments.
How do we perform the urinary PRF procedure?
A blood sample is collected and processed to prepare PRF. The clinic’s urinary procedure uses 4 injections around the outside of the urethra, near the opening where urine leaves the body. This describes the clinic’s injection sites, not four appointments or a home-treatment technique. Comfort measures and follow-up are discussed before treatment.
What should I tell the clinician about my leakage?
Explain whether leakage happens with coughing, exercise, a sudden urge, or without warning. Bring your medication list and mention urinary infections, pelvic surgery, childbirth history, pain, or trouble emptying. A leakage diary can help distinguish patterns; your assessment may include urine testing or referral.
What alternatives should I consider?
Depending on the diagnosis, established options include pelvic-floor physical therapy, bladder training, medication, pessaries, urethral bulking, or surgery. PRF should not delay evaluation or replace an appropriate established treatment. New bladder loss with weakness, numbness, or severe back pain requires urgent assessment.
What does the research tell us?
A small retrospective series studied platelet-rich fibrin matrix for several urologic conditions. It was a feasibility study, not proof that straight PRF reliably treats urinary leakage. Preparations and protocols differ, and PRF for incontinence remains investigational.
