Empowering, Life-Changing Therapies for Urinary Incontinence
The loss of bladder control, called urinary incontinence, is common and troublesome for many women. Urinary incontinence can range from small leaks during activities like laughing, coughing or sneezing, to failure to make it to the toilet in time.
What Is the Most Common Cause of Urinary Incontinence in Women?
Damaged and weakened pelvic floor muscles as a result of vaginal delivery, or attempted vaginal delivery prior to cesarean, are the most common causes of female stress urinary incontinence. Poor pelvic floor muscle tone may also have other causes such as being obesity, chronic cough, or surgery that affects the muscles, such as a hysterectomy, or back surgery.
The most common causes of urge incontinence, also known as overactive bladder, are infection, as well as diet choices like caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods, or alcohol.
Urinary incontinence can be caused by various factors, many of which are out of our control. These include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Genetics
- Menopause
- Pelvic surgery
- Muscles problems in the bladder and urethra
- Weakened pelvic floor muscles or a weak sphincter muscle at the bladder’s neck
- Obesity
- Chronic medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus
- Anxiety and clinical depression
- Urinary tract infections
After pregnancy and childbirth, women who develop stress urinary incontinence due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and hormonal changes may benefit from Kegel exercises that help them strengthen their pelvic floor muscles.
It is important to work with a specialized and skilled professional who can accurately diagnose and treat your urinary incontinence by identifying the underlying cause. This will ensure you receive the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
How Do You Treat Urinary Incontinence?
Approximately 80% of people with urinary incontinence can eliminate or significantly improve their symptoms with the appropriate treatment.
- Practice regular Kegal exercises
- Cut down on fluid intake, especially within 3 hours before you go to bed.
- Avoid activities that put pressure on your bladder such as jumping or jogging and take up low impact activities.
- Lose the excess weight because obesity puts pressure on the bladder, and damages urethral structures as well as the pelvic floor.
- Quit smoking and vaping because it can cause a chronic cough which damages the pelvic floor.
- Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages including coffee, energy drinks, teas, and sodas.
What Are the Best Non-Surgical Treatments for Female Urinary Incontinence?
O-Shot®
While the O-Shot was originally used to help women improve the quality of orgasms, recent studies have determined that the O-Shot can also be an effective treatment for urinary incontinence. This non-surgical, non-invasive injectable treatment uses your own blood to trigger the body’s natural healing process and stimulate supportive collagen production. The O-Shot is able to improve the symptoms of urinary incontinence, as well as address concerns like vaginal dryness and reduced sensation in the vaginal area.
Benefits of O-Shot:
- Completely natural treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate healing from within
- Can be highly effective for treating stress urinary incontinence
- Can improve other aspects of vaginal function, including a tighter vaginal opening and enhanced sensitivity, as well as a lower orgasm threshold making it easier to achieve climax
