We LOVE this wonderful letter from a woman who struggled with incontinence for decades. Enter Dr. Lira Chowdhury and the Bulkamid procedure! "I first began having a variety of UTI problems in my mid-20’s, compounded by incontinence in my early 30’s. I had my first surgery for incontinence at that time. It was "successful" for about a year, after a very painful and difficult recovery. Then I began being incontinent again, which gradually got worse and worse. In my early 40’s, it was recommended that I have another surgery, using a different procedure. It was even less effective, so I gave up. Finally, last fall, at 69, I had been totally incontinent for at least five years. I reluctantly decided to see if there was anything that would help on the horizon. Dr. Chowdhury did a thorough testing of my urinary tract and told me she felt sure there was help for me in the form of the Bulkamid procedure. Well, it has been life-changing!

"Incontinence is no longer an issue. I wear only a liner for the very, very rare occasion I have a slight dribble from ignoring my bladder signals and relieving myself. The recovery was not difficult at all. I do self-catheter twice a day, but that is not painful or difficult...it takes a little practice, and now it’s just part of my routine, like brushing teeth, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Chowdhury and this procedure if you’re having the same problem. I believe I was a pretty extreme case going in, and now I can testify to its effectiveness."

For three years, nearly every aspect of Jimmie LaBouve's day was overtaken by her leaky bladder. Life as she once knew it came to an abrupt halt. No travel adventures. No nature walks. No carefree times with family and friends. “It was very uncomfortable and I couldn’t go anywhere,” she explains. “I put up with it for a long time because I really didn’t know what to do. Women don’t talk about it with one another, so you don’t know who else is going through this.” Thankfully, Jimmie connected with pelvic prolapse surgeon Dr. Lira Chowdhury. Dr. Chowdhury determined Jimmie was suffering from a triple prolapse! Following a robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy to put her pelvic organs back where they belong, nothing is holding her back!
