Vaginal Laser Therapy for Urinary Incontinence

Abstract

The kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra make up the urinary system, also referred to as the urinary tract or renal system. The urinary system's functions include removing waste from the body, controlling blood volume and pressure, electrolyte and metabolite levels, and blood pH. The body's drainage system for eventually eliminating urine is the urinary tract. The renal artery and renal vein provide the kidneys' considerable blood supply and drainage, respectively. Nephrons are functional subunits that make up each kidney. Wastes (in the form of urine) are released from the kidney through the ureters, tubes consisting of smooth muscle fibres that carry urine to the urinary bladder where it is held until being urinated out of the body. This process occurs after blood is filtered and further processed (voiding). The only significant difference between the male and female urinary systems is the length of the urethra. In the kidneys, blood is filtered to create urine. The bladder is where the pee is kept after being transported there by the ureters. The urethra is the passageway through which urine leaves the body during urination. In a healthy person, 800-2,000 milliliters (mL) of urine are typically generated daily. Any uncontrolled urine leak is referred to as urinary incontinence (UI), also known as involuntary urination. It is a frequent and upsetting issue that could significantly affect quality of life.
