A method is disclosed for treatment of urinary incontinence. The method includes the steps of providing to a person or animal, in the vicinity of a pubo-urethral ligament of the person or animal, a composition including collagen macromolecules that have hydroxyphenyl side groups substituted thereon, which are reacted to form dihydroxyphenyl linkages. In an embodiment, the collagen macromolecules are gelatin macromolecules. In another embodiment, the hydroxyphenyl side groups are tyramine side groups and the dihydroxyphenyl linkages are dityramine linkages. The composition can be injected into a space between a urethra and a pubis of the person or animal wherein the pubo-urethral ligament is disposed in the space. The method is advantageous, for example, based on being minimally invasive.
