Do you ever worry about urine leakage when you cough, laugh, or work out?
Nearly 1 in 3 Indian women silently face this problem. Known as stress urinary incontinence, it’s one of the most common yet least discussed issues in women’s health. But the truth is — it’s treatable.
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar, a highly qualified and compassionate gynecologist specializing in Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Mumbai, helps women overcome this condition using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Her approach combines medical excellence with genuine understanding — assisting women to regain control, comfort, and confidence.
If you’ve been searching for a trusted specialist for stress urinary incontinence treatment, your journey starts here.
Stress Urinary Incontinence — A Hidden Struggle
Urinary incontinence means involuntary leakage of urine. In stress urinary incontinence (SUI), it happens when physical activity like sneezing, laughing, or exercising increases pressure on the bladder.
Common urinary incontinence causes in females include weakened pelvic floor muscles after childbirth, hormonal decline after menopause, obesity, and previous pelvic surgeries. Unfortunately, many women mistake it as “normal after delivery,” when in reality, it’s a condition that can — and should — be treated.
Recognizing the Symptoms Early
If you notice these urinary incontinence symptoms, it’s time to consult a specialist:
- Leakage when coughing, laughing, or lifting weights
- Urgency to urinate
- Disturbed sleep due to frequent urination
- Reduced confidence in public or social situations
Addressing these signs early ensures simpler, faster recovery with modern urinary incontinence treatment options.
Why Stress Urinary Incontinence Happens?
The leading urinary incontinence causes include:
- Childbirth trauma weakening the pelvic muscles
- Menopausal hormone changes reducing tissue strength
- Chronic cough or obesity putting pressure on the bladder
- Pelvic surgery affecting nerve control
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar explains, “Once we identify why the leakage happens, we can correct it — not just control it. Every woman’s cause is unique, so her treatment must be too.”
The SUI Recovery Roadmap: Confidence in Just Days
Dr. Parulekar’s minimally invasive approach ensures a remarkably fast recovery with minimal disruption to your life. For procedures like the Laparoscopic Sling, most women are back to their routine activities within 3-5 days. Post-procedure care is simple but crucial, focusing on pain management (usually only mild), and a brief period of restricted heavy lifting. Dr. Parulekar personally oversees your post-operative check-ups to ensure complete healing and long-term success.
Advanced Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Mumbai
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar offers a comprehensive range of cutting-edge solutions, always prioritizing minimally invasive techniques for the fastest recovery and best long-term results.
Non-Surgical and Lifestyle Solutions
For early-stage or mild-to-moderate SUI, Dr. Parulekar focuses on non-invasive therapies to restore natural function and strength.
- Pelvic Floor Strengthening Therapy: This is often the first line of treatment. We create personalized physiotherapy plans that include detailed instructions on proper Kegel exercises and muscle control techniques. This therapy is crucial for rebuilding muscle tone and is a vital part of long-term prevention, even after surgery.
- Laser Vaginal Tightening: A gentle, non-surgical option that uses laser energy to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal walls and urethra, providing better support and improved urethral closure for mild to moderate cases.
- Lifestyle and Hormonal Therapy: Simple, yet powerful changes, including dietary modification, timed voiding, and targeted hormonal treatments, can significantly reduce leakage in early-stage cases.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Options (For Moderate to Severe SUI)
When non-surgical treatments are not enough, Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar offers highly effective minimally invasive, mesh-free surgical procedures that treat the root cause of SUI and provide long-term cure.
🔹 Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension (Mesh-Free, Gold Standard Alternative)
A keyhole surgery where the tissues supporting the urethra are lifted and secured to strong pelvic ligaments.
This restores the natural support of the urethra and prevents leakage during coughing, laughing, or exercise.
Benefits
- Completely mesh-free
- Minimally invasive with tiny incisions
- 1–2 day hospital stay
- Fast recovery — most women resume routine activity in 3–5 days
- Excellent long-term success rates (80–90%)
This procedure is especially preferred in women who
✔ want a mesh-free solution
✔ have had previous vaginal surgeries
✔ have co-existing pelvic floor issues
🔹 Laparoscopic Sling Procedure (Minimally Invasive Urethral Support)
In select patients, a biocompatible sling is placed under the urethra through tiny keyhole incisions.
Unlike older TVT/TOT methods, these advanced slings are placed laparoscopically with greater precision, safety, and anatomical accuracy.
How it helps:
The sling acts like a gentle supportive bridge under the urethra, preventing leakage when abdominal pressure increases.
Advantages:
- Very small incisions
- Minimal blood loss
- Quick return to routine activities
- Long-lasting results with high patient satisfaction
🔹 Urethral Bulking Injections (For Mild to Moderate SUI or Surgical Contraindications)
A non-incisional procedure performed as a day-care treatment.
A soft gel-like material is injected around the urethra to help it close more effectively.
Best suited for:
- Women who prefer a non-surgical option
- Elderly patients
- Women unfit for anesthesia
- Mild recurrent SUI after previous surgery
Benefits:
- No cuts, no stitches
- 10–15 minute procedure
- Immediate return to daily life

Dr. Maitreyee
“Every day, I meet women who whisper about urinary leakage as if it’s a secret they must hide. I always tell them — this is not your fault, and it’s not something you need to live with.”
“I chose gynecology because I wanted to bring dignity and science together in women’s health. My training at KEM Hospital Mumbai, where I received the Gold Medal in MS Obstetrics & Gynecology, shaped my foundation. Those years taught me precision, but also empathy — two qualities I carry into every surgery I perform.”
“Later, when I trained in Gynecological Oncology and Robotic Surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea, and as a Visiting Scholar in Minimally Invasive Gynecology at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, I realized how technology could transform care. Small incisions, faster recovery, minimal pain — that’s how I believe modern gynecology should be.”
“Awards like the Best Resident Award at KEM Hospital, the Shantabai Gulabchand Fellowship from MOGS, and the Dr. Bipin Pandit Healing Hands Caring Heart Award are close to my heart — not for recognition, but because they remind me of the lives behind every case. I’ve been fortunate to present my research across countries, but the real reward is seeing a patient walk out smiling.”
“Whether it’s cancer surgery, robotic procedure, or urinary incontinence treatment, my philosophy is simple — offer world-class care with kindness. Every woman deserves to live freely, without fear or hesitation.”
