Collagen for stress incontinence
From M.E. in the U.K.: Regarding the collagen injection for stress incontinence. I am involved in a trial at a hospital in Bristol…a calcium injection, medical name calcium hydroxylapatite for urethral sphincter augmentation. It is an inert substance that should not dissolve like collagen. It is rather a tricky procedure and did not work the first time, but since the second, nine months ago, I am about 90 per cent better. Just colds still are a small problem. Considering how major the alternative operation is, with no guarantee of success, I am very pleased.
