Say No to Urinary Incontinence. We Have Solutions

It can happen suddenly. One minute, you trust your bladder fully. The next — usually after you sneeze, cough, or try to lift something heavy — you’re suddenly worried. Doing things you love, like hanging out with friends who make you laugh, might become stress-inducing. 

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Per the National Library of Medicine, somewhere between 25-45% of women report struggling with this issue called urinary incontinence. Most women avoid speaking about this issue because of embarrassment .While urinary incontinence is common, it doesn’t have to be part of your new normal. Here at Rejuvenation For Her in Weston, Florida, we offer solutions to help you regain self confidence as it relates to stigma around the issue of incontinence, 

Solving stress urinary incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence means you experience urine leakage when your abdomen encounters increased pressure. This applies to you if you notice this problem when you:

• Sneeze
• Cough
• Laugh
• Lift something heavy

If you’re experiencing this kind of incontinence, you can alleviate the problem by strengthening your pelvic floor muscles. Because weakness in this area contributes to urinary incontinence, strengthening the muscles gives you a way to keep your urethra sealed off as you go about your day.

Let’s explore two resources that help women address urinary incontinence through pelvic floor strengthening. 

#1: Emsella® chair

Dr. Johnson offers this innovative, FDA-approved treatment option because it’s painless, noninvasive, and clinically proven to deliver results. 

The Emsella chair is what it sounds like: a chair you sit in. As you relax in the chair, it sends high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy into your pelvic floor.

This is painless and goes through your skin into your muscles. The HIFEM energy causes your muscles to contract. In a single session, the chair can prompt thousands of contractions. This strengthens your pelvic floor, addressing the root cause of urinary incontinence. 

You remain fully clothed during treatment, and there’s no downtime afterward. You can go straight back to your normal daily activities. 

In the weeks that follow, your results should continue to improve. 

#2: Pelvic floor therapy

While the Emsella chair can induce muscle contractions, targeted physical therapy can teach you how to engage those muscles yourself. 

Your pelvic floor therapy is customized to you and your body. It will likely include some kegel-like exercises, along with stretching and other activities to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor.
