What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. It affects millions of women, particularly after childbirth and during and after menopause, yet many never mention it to a healthcare provider. Incontinence can range from occasional small leaks to frequent, sudden urges that interfere with work, exercise, travel, sleep, and intimacy.
Types of Urinary Incontinence
- Stress incontinence: Leaking when pressure is placed on the bladder, such as when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, or jumping. It’s usually caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles.
- Urge incontinence: A sudden, intense need to urinate followed by leakage, often associated with an overactive bladder.
- Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge symptoms.
- Overflow incontinence: Frequent dribbling caused by a bladder that doesn’t empty completely.
What Causes Incontinence in Women?
The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles and surrounding tissues weaken, bladder control suffers. Common contributing factors include:
- Pregnancy and vaginal childbirth
- Declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause
- Aging and loss of muscle tone
- Excess body weight, which increases pressure on the bladder
- Chronic coughing, constipation, or heavy lifting
- Conditions such as diabetes and urinary tract infections
Evaluating Your Symptoms
Your visit starts with a private, judgment-free conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals. Because we’re a primary care practice, we can check for urinary tract infections, blood sugar problems, and other medical causes with in-office testing through our lab services before recommending treatment.
Non-Surgical Incontinence Treatment With EmpowerRF
EmpowerRF is a comprehensive feminine wellness platform that combines radiofrequency energy and electrical muscle stimulation to address stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
- VTone: Gently stimulates the intravaginal muscles to rehabilitate a weak pelvic floor, much like a guided workout that’s difficult to achieve with Kegel exercises alone.
- Morpheus8V: Radiofrequency microneedling that remodels and strengthens vaginal tissue.
- FormaV: Deep heating that improves circulation and tissue health.
Most women find treatments comfortable, and your provider will recommend the ideal number and frequency of sessions for your condition.
Additional Support for Bladder Health
Depending on your needs, your plan may also include bioidentical hormone therapy to support vaginal and urinary tissue health, medical weight loss to reduce pressure on the pelvic floor, and guidance on bladder habits, hydration, and pelvic floor exercises. If you have more complex symptoms, we’ll coordinate a referral to a specialist.
Urinary Incontinence FAQs
Is urinary incontinence a normal part of aging?
It’s common, but it isn’t something you have to live with. Effective, non-surgical treatments can significantly improve bladder control.
What is the difference between stress and urge incontinence?
Stress incontinence causes leaks with pressure, like sneezing or exercise, while urge incontinence causes a sudden strong need to urinate followed by leakage.
Does EmpowerRF hurt?
Most women find EmpowerRF treatments comfortable and painless, and there is no anesthesia or downtime.
How many EmpowerRF treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition and goals. Your provider will create a customized plan after your evaluation.
Can menopause cause bladder leaks?
Yes. Declining estrogen can weaken pelvic and urinary tissues, which is why incontinence often increases during and after menopause.
Can weight loss help incontinence?
Losing excess weight reduces pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor and can noticeably improve stress incontinence.
