If you are a man struggling with stress urinary incontinence due to uncontrollable factors such as a prostate removal or partial removal, you may have heard of the new Coloplast Virtue. This device is one in a long line of various long-term solutions for men who experience frequent incontinence in the form or urinary leakage. This is one of the more advanced designs on the market right now, and it offers a simple but normally very effective solution to stress urinary incontinence in men, especially those who are missing part or all of their prostate glands.
If you’re going to use the Coloplast Virtue, though, it’s really important that you know how it actually works. The good thing is that it isn’t terribly complicated. In fact, it’s a simple little device made of mesh and plastic, and it’s shaped a little bit like a football goalpost with extra horizontal arms.
The mesh between the goal posts works like a sling to elevate the urethra. Many times, incontinence is due to the misalignment of the urethra after surgery, since removing a part of the reproductive system changes the formation of the rest of it. Returning your urethra to the right position allows you to control your incontinence better. Plus, the device puts a bit of pressure on this tiny anatomical tube, which also helps give you more control over your bladder.
Unlike other types of stress incontinence control for men, the Coloplast Virtue is put in through a barely invasive outpatient surgery, and it’s eventually surrounded by scar tissue and incorporated into the anatomy. Plus, you don’t have to manually operate the Virtue in order to urinate. It will simply help you control your problem, but it will seem totally natural when you actually have to use the restroom.
