Urinary stress incontinence is a health condition related to the unintentional loss of urine originated from the stress caused by a physical movement or activity in your bladder (1). Some of these activities can be running, laughing, coughing, sneezing, or heavy lifting.
In this article, we will discuss the varied options for its treatment – surgical vs. nonsurgical – as well as Illumia’s choices – Tesla Former, and Venus Fiore – so you can decide the best choice to correct this condition, the main cause of embarrassment for many women.
One out every three women will experience stress urinary incontinence (SUI) at some point in their life (2).
Urinary stress incontinence tends to increase over age. At least one-third of women over 60 years old experience urinary stress incontinence, as well as half of the women over 65 (3).
First of all, you need to seek the guidance of a professional to determine the best treatment available according to your symptoms as well as your health condition, and age.
Here are some treatments for the urinary stress incontinence:
Also known as pelvic floor muscle exercises, they are an exercising routine that helps to strengthen your pelvic muscles by contracting and releasing them multiple times a day.
With this practice, you will reinforce the muscles from the bladder, uterus, and bowels mainly responsible for stress urinary incontinence. To practice them, pretend to hold your urine or to stop passing gases while counting slowly until five, and then relax.
Kegel exercises need to be practice every day, 10 times each movement for 5 sets daily (4).
This consists in stretching out the time intervals you pass between bathroom visits. You can try postponing them 15 minutes at first to them add 30 minutes or more within two weeks so you can get between three to four hours of bathroom visits.
International Continence Society Guidelines indicate that the treatment of UI should begin with conservative therapy (5). This therapy may include pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, and behavioral therapy (6).
Some drugs prescribed for SUI treatment content antispasmodics to reduce the sensation of urge by blocking the signs that cause the muscles from your bladder to leak. On the other hand, estrogens and adrenergic receptors contained in vaginal or urethra creams help to ease the stress symptoms by applying them in small doses (7).
Moreover, a therapy that involves electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor combined with muscle training can also help to ease stress urinary incontinence. Biofeedback training – a therapy where a trained physician guides you into pelvic floor exercises personalized for your needs by using computer graphs – is the most effective treatment according to several pieces of research (8).
There are, at least, 200 medical procedures as well as non-invasive therapy developed throughout time to attend the stress urinary incontinence.
In this part, we will review the most advance and successful treatment for this condition.
