What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine, ranging from small leaks to more frequent, uncontrollable accidents. It is more common than most women realize, especially after childbirth, during menopause, or as we age. There are several types of urinary incontinence, including:
-
Stress Incontinence: Leaking urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising.
-
Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate that can lead to involuntary urine loss before you reach the bathroom.
-
Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
-
Overflow Incontinence: A constant dribbling of urine due to incomplete bladder emptying, often caused by a blocked urinary tract or weak bladder muscles.
While urinary incontinence is not a condition that people often talk about openly, it’s essential to know that it’s not something you have to live with. Effective treatments and support can help restore your bladder control and improve your emotional and physical well-being.
How We Can Help: Our Approach to Urinary Incontinence
At Empower Her Health, we take a holistic approach to urinary incontinence care, focusing on the underlying causes and offering personalized treatment plans to address both the symptoms and the root issues. We understand that every woman’s experience with incontinence is unique, which is why our treatments are tailored to your specific needs.
Here’s how we can help:
1. Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in supporting bladder control. Weak or dysfunctional pelvic muscles can lead to incontinence issues. Our pelvic floor exercise programs are designed to strengthen and tone the muscles that support the bladder and urethra, improving bladder control.
Through guided exercises and physical therapy, we teach you how to properly engage and relax these muscles to prevent leakage and reduce urgency.
2. Biofeedback Therapy
Biofeedback is a technique used to help you become more aware of the state of your pelvic floor muscles and their function. It involves using sensors to monitor your muscle contractions, providing real-time feedback to help you train your muscles more effectively.
Biofeedback therapy is a valuable tool for stress incontinence, as it helps retrain the pelvic muscles for better coordination and control.
3. Lifestyle and Nutritional Guidance
Certain lifestyle habits can contribute to urinary incontinence, including excessive caffeine intake, dehydration, or even constipation. We provide nutrition and lifestyle coaching to help you make changes that will improve bladder health and function.
Additionally, we offer behavioral training to help you establish healthy bathroom habits, including bladder retraining techniques that can minimize urgency and frequency.
4. Non-Surgical Treatments
We offer several non-surgical treatments that may be effective for women with moderate urinary incontinence, including:
-
Radiofrequency therapy (e.g., Morpheus8) to stimulate tissue tightening and improve the support structures around the bladder.
-
Pessaries—a small device inserted into the vagina to help support the bladder and prevent leakage, especially useful for women with pelvic organ prolapse.
These treatments can be used to supplement pelvic floor exercises and provide more immediate relief from symptoms.
5. Emotional Support and Counseling
Urinary incontinence can have a significant emotional and social impact. We offer supportive counseling to help you address any feelings of embarrassment, frustration, or isolation that may come with the condition. Our compassionate team is here to listen, reassure, and support you in your journey toward improvement.
