Dr. Michael Hulse answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Yes.: A sling is a device that is surgically placed below the urethra to treat leaking urine that occurs with coughing, laughing, running or other activities. That is not your only treatment option for this problem and you should be offered conservative treatments also.
