Pelvic Floor

The solution for incontinence

Incontinence is loss of bladder control, varying from a slight loss of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing to a complete inability to control urination. It’s twice more common in women than in men due to pregnancy and trauma to the pelvic floor during childbirth.

The female anatomy evolves over time due to multiple factors: pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal transformations, menopause, and aging. Inevitably, the pelvic floor is negatively impacted leading to pelvic floor weakness, stress urinary incontinence, and reduction in the quality of life.

Treatments for urinary incontinence:

Behavioral techniques: like going to the bathroom at scheduled times to train the bladder and cutting down fluids.

Strengthening Pelvic floor muscle: Kegels exercise in which you contract the muscles you would use to stop urinating and hold for five seconds, and then relax for five seconds. Work up to holding the contractions for 10 seconds. Aim for at least three sets of 10 repetitions each day. The use of electrodes can enhance the effects marginally.

Emsella is the state-of-the-art technology which utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control. A single Emsella session of 28 minutes is equivalent to 11,000 Kegel exercises.

V Tone is a gentle, nonsurgical FDA-cleared technology designed to provide intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to rehabilitate weak pelvic floor muscles and improve the symptoms of stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence.

FormaV is a non-invasive treatment that effectively addresses various issues related to vaginal health without the need for surgery. This innovative procedure provides improvements in blood circulation, muscle pain relief, and muscle relaxation. It rejuvenates both the vaginal canal and external genital area, making it an ideal solution for women who are suffering from urinary incontinence or are concerned about the effects of aging.

The procedure involves tightening loose labia, which can help women feel more confident. It is a completely painless and gentle treatment, making it suitable for women who have noticed vaginal laxity, effects of aging on the labia and vulva, vulvovaginal atrophy, and urinary incontinence. Additionally, FormaV can tighten the external labia minora and majora, providing a comprehensive solution for women who want to improve their vaginal health and appearance.

Overall, FormaV is an excellent option for women looking for a non-surgical, virtually painless rejuvenation procedure that can improve their vaginal health and restore their confidence. With its ability to address various vaginal issues, it is a versatile treatment that is ideal for women of all ages who want to improve their overall well-being

Hormones: estrogen deficiency in the etiology of lower urinary tract symptoms with 70% of women. Bioidentical vaginal estrogen can be used as an adjunct to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

Medications: Anticholinergic with common side effects of constipation, urinary retention, dry mouth, blurred vision, and cognitive impairment.

O Shot: Rejuvenates the tissue of female Genitalia. The O-Shot is a non-invasive procedure that uses Blood-Derived Growth Factors extracted from a patient’s own blood. The growth factors help regenerate vaginal tissue and enhance sexual health.

A pill is not an answer to all ills and surgery doesn’t cure all problems. We are fortunate to live in times when we can adapt the best practices from Western and Eastern Medicine. and this is one area where Western medicine has provided a great solution. When EMSELLA^® is integrated with optimization of hormones and lean vs fat mass in the body, results are awesome.
