Who is a good candidate for Bulkamid?
Fast answer
Bulkamid may fit women with stress leaks, from coughing, sneezing, or exercise, who want a treatment with no cuts and a quick recovery. That includes women who aren't ready for surgery or have had a sling before.
How it works
Treatment takes a short procedure in one of our surgery centers. Some women need a second injection. Leaking when you cough or exercise?
When to make an appointment
Bulkamid suits women with leaks during coughs, laughs or exercise who want to avoid a sling; we confirm the leak type with an exam and sometimes urodynamics first.
Caring for Kennesaw
We welcome Kennesaw patients to our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, 1371 Church Street Extension NW. Outpatient procedures are done in that Marietta building, and patients go home afterward.

Advanced Urology: about Urinary incontinence
Your leakage visit
Women from Kennesaw see our team for bladder leakage at our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center. Expect questions about when leaks occur, daily pad use and earlier treatments. An exam and urine test help us sort out stress leakage, urge leakage or a mix.
How our urologists approach stress leakage
Pelvic floor exercise and magnetic pelvic floor therapy often come first. Bulkamid is a gel injected into the urethra wall through a scope, with no incisions, that helps the urethra close more firmly. It may appeal to women who want to avoid surgery or who prefer a quicker recovery, and we'll compare it with sling surgery so you can weigh both.
Reasons to call
- Burning or fever
- Blood in the urine
- Leaks that suddenly worsen
For Kennesaw women
Ring (678) 344-8900 or send a booking request through the website; new patients from Kennesaw, Acworth and surrounding areas are welcome. Bringing a few days of notes on leaks and fluids helps a great deal at the first visit.
Common questions
Does Bulkamid involve mesh?
No. It's an injectable gel, with no mesh or incisions.
How long is the procedure?
A short procedure done through the urethra with no incisions. Plan for someone to drive you home afterward.
Women who are still planning pregnancies, or who have had earlier leakage surgery, should mention it, since it affects how we sequence treatment.
We'll see you back afterward to check results.
