Stress urinary incontinence is a health condition related to the unintentional loss of urine originating from stress caused by a physical movement or activity in your bladder. 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. non surgical – as well as Illumia’s choices – Tesla Former and Venus Fiore – so you can decide on the best choice to correct this condition.
Firstly, 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 stress incontinence:
Also known as pelvic floor muscle exercises, they are an exercise 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 which are mainly responsible for stress urinary incontinence. To practice them, pretend to hold your urine or stop passing gases while counting slowly until five, and then relax.
It is recommended to practice Kegel exercises every day, 10 times for each movement, for 5 sets.
This consists of stretching out the time intervals you pass between bathroom visits. You can try postponing them for 15 minutes at first, and then add 30 minutes or more within two weeks so that you can get between three to four hours of bathroom visits.
The International Continence Society Guidelines indicate that the treatment of UI should begin with conservative therapy. This therapy may include pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, and behavioral therapy.
Some drugs prescribed for SUI treatment contain 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.
A form of 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 studies.
This treatment is suitable for many health conditions such as pain treatment, stress urinary incontinence, and aesthetical enhancement, being effective in every case.
Developed a decade ago by Iskra Medical, this chair combines electrotherapy and ultrasound technologies to provide a powerful electromagnetic wave directly into your pelvic area, which triggers the nerves located in the muscles of your pelvic area, thus causing them to contract.
By using a phenomenon called magnetic induction, the TeslaChair can boost your pelvic muscles by contracting them for strengthening, improved circulation, and pain relief.
All this stimulation does not need direct skin contact, it is painless and safe while sending electromagnetic waves into the selected area to stimulate muscles for the desired effect.
Since it sends electromagnetic waves directly to your pelvic muscles, it will help you to stimulate all your pelvic muscles by contracting them, emulating the results of a lifetime of Kegel exercises made on your own. In the end, your pelvic floor will be stronger and tighter, ready to avoid stress urinary incontinence.
After the sessions, you will start noticing the benefits of having a stronger pelvic floor: you will be able to hold your pee for longer, as well as having lesser stress urinary incontinence episodes and an improved sex life.
