We are proud to announce that Dr. Jessica Rueb received the Bulkamid Center of Excellence last week.
Southern Urogynecology Wellness & Aesthetics has been recognized as a Bulkamid Center of Excellence by Axonics, Inc. for the second time! This prestigious designation was earned by each of our doctors separately. It highlights our expertise, dedication to positive patient outcomes, and commitment to improving the patient experience in treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with Bulkamid.
What is Bulkamid?
Bulkamid is a urethral bulking agent that is used to treat Stress Urinary Incontinence. It is a smooth, water-based gel which remains in the body over time without causing reactions in the surrounding tissue. The Bulkamid procedure consists of 3-4 injections into the wall of the urethra (this is the tube that allows urine to leave the bladder). By adding additional volume to the wall of the urethra, it helps prevent urine from leaking out of the bladder during normal daily activities.
Many women opt for urethral bulking as a treatment for their SUI over invasive surgery because the procedure is minimally invasive, can be done under local anaesthetic, usually takes around 10-15 minutes and there is a short recovery time along with less risk of serious complications1. See the important safety information for the full list of potential complications. Furthermore, having Bulkamid does not exclude you from pursuing other treatment options in the future2.

✅ Expert care from highly trained specialists
