Urinary Incontinence Treatment with Aptos Threads
In Istanbul, Aptos thread treatment for urinary incontinence, performed by Op. Dr. Ebru Ünal, offers a non-surgical and comfortable solution to this problem that restricts daily life. This procedure, performed with personalized planning after expert evaluation, is based on strengthening the tissues supporting the urethra with medical threads. This modern technique, applied in a clinical setting, allows you to move freely in social life while also aiming for the biological regeneration of tissues.
Firming through Natural Regeneration
Specially designed Aptos threads, placed in the anterior vaginal wall, initiate a tissue regeneration process in the treated area, providing the necessary support to the urethra. Following the procedure, collagen production increases, and weakened connective tissue tightens and gains elasticity; this helps restore natural urinary continence control.
Urinary Incontinence Problems and Effective Approaches
Urinary leakage that occurs during increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as during coughing, sneezing, or exercise, results from the relaxation and thinning of tissues. Suitable candidates for urinary incontinence treatment include individuals with both stress incontinence (due to physical exertion) and overactive bladder who are hesitant about surgery. This practical method significantly improves quality of life by reinforcing the structure surrounding the bladder and urethra without a surgical incision.

What is Aptos thread treatment for urinary incontinence and what does it do?
Aptos thread treatment is a non-surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the tissues supporting the urethra using medical threads. It helps stop involuntary urine leakage and restore urinary control.
How is Aptos thread treatment for urinary incontinence performed?
It is performed in a clinical setting under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Threads are placed through a very small needle entry point inside the vagina, creating a supportive structure for the urethra.
Why is this method preferred for urinary incontinence treatment in Istanbul?
This technique offered in our clinic in Istanbul does not require general anesthesia unlike traditional surgeries. It provides natural tightening over time without leaving permanent foreign material in the body.
Do the threads used in urinary incontinence treatment cause pain?
The procedure is completely painless thanks to local anesthesia applied before the treatment. Mild sensitivity may be felt on the first day, but it does not affect daily life.

What is the recovery time after urinary incontinence treatment?
There is no significant recovery period. However, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for the first 2 weeks to allow the tissues to integrate with the threads. Symptoms of urinary incontinence usually begin to decrease within the first week.
Who is urinary incontinence treatment suitable for?
It is suitable for adult women who experience urine leakage while laughing, coughing, or exercising, and who prefer a non-surgical and fast solution.
Are the results of Aptos thread treatment permanent?
The mechanical support provided by the threads starts immediately, while maximum effect is achieved within 6 months through collagen production. Results typically last around 2 years and the procedure can be repeated if needed.
