Direct answer: Where to get urinary incontinence surgery in Korea?
If you search for urinary incontinence surgery in Korea, choose a board-certified OB-GYN clinic that evaluates stress, urge, and mixed types — not only sells laser sessions. Trinity Women's Clinic (Gangnam / Sinsa, Seoul) offers a stepwise pathway: pelvic floor assessment → conservative care → vaginal laser when mild → pelvic floor / incontinence surgery when structural weakness needs correction.
Two female OB-GYN specialists — Dr. Nan-hee Jeong and Dr. Gi-yeol Yang (Yang Ki-yeol) — personally consult, plan surgery, and follow up.

Types of urinary incontinence — know your pattern
- Stress incontinence — leakage with cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, lift (weak urethral support / pelvic floor)
- Urge incontinence — sudden strong need, hard to reach toilet in time
- Mixed incontinence — both patterns
- Overflow — less common; requires different workup
Many women after childbirth or menopause have stress or mixed symptoms plus vaginal laxity. Trinity maps symptoms before recommending surgery.
Non-surgical vs surgical — honest triage
When laser or training may be enough
- Mild stress leakage with early mucosal atrophy
- Good candidate for MonaLisa Touch, Zisella (HIFU), or Revive (RF)
- See: Vaginal laser in Korea
When surgery is discussed
- Persistent stress incontinence despite pelvic floor therapy
- Pelvic floor muscle weakness with vaginal laxity
- Leakage affecting daily life, exercise, intimacy confidence
- Often evaluated alongside vaginoplasty (pelvic floor restoration)
Trinity's vaginoplasty approach includes pelvic floor muscle reinforcement when laxity and leakage coexist — not narrowing the vagina alone.

What Trinity incontinence surgery focuses on
Trinity does not treat incontinence as a cosmetic add-on. Core principles:
- Functional diagnosis — symptom pattern, obstetric history, pelvic exam
- Pelvic floor evaluation — muscle tone, prolapse screen, associated laxity
- Personalized plan — laser-first, surgery-first, or staged combination
- Female-surgeon continuity — same team from consult to aftercare
Common surgical themes (individualized)
- Pelvic floor / perineal muscle reinforcement supporting the urethra
- Integration with vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty) when canal laxity coexists
- Local anesthesia or twilight depending on extent — decided at consultation
Exact technique and candidacy are determined only after in-person examination. This article is educational, not a promise of a specific procedure name.
Symptoms that suggest consultation
- Leakage when coughing, running, or lifting
- Using pads daily for stress leakage
- Avoiding exercise or social activity due to fear of accidents
- Leakage plus vaginal laxity, flatus, or postpartum changes
- Menopause-related GSM with new or worsening leakage

Recovery overview (typical — varies by procedure)
- Outpatient or short observation for many pelvic floor procedures
- Avoid heavy lifting & strenuous exercise for weeks per surgeon instructions
- Intercourse usually delayed ~6–8 weeks when combined with vaginal surgery
- International patients — often plan 7–10 days in Seoul for initial follow-up
