Core Tip

Core Tip: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is mainly characterized by the involuntary overflow of urine when there is a sudden rise in abdominal pressure caused by actions such as coughing, laughing, and exertion, and it does not persist in daily life. At present, there are many methods available for SUI, such as life feedback training and pelvic floor muscle function exercises. However, these kinds of treatment are time-consuming and have highly variable curative effects. In this study, the clinical value of the needleless sling without acupuncture in the treatment of SUI in women was analyzed.
