Regain your Happiness and say Goodbye to Urinary Incontinence

 As we age, physical challenges and changes are inevitable. For women, it is not only about wrinkles or a sagging complexion that becomes a severe problem. Women may face more serious issues such as stress incontinence where a flaccid pelvic floor muscle or loose cervix may cause incontinence when coughing, sneezing, exercise or just moving.

 Pregnancy and childbirth can stretch and weaken a woman’s pelvic floor muscles. Other things that can lead to stress incontinence are being overweight or obese, taking certain medications.

Other types of incontinence according to Wedmd.com

Urge Incontinence

This is also called overactive bladder. With this type, you have an urgent need to go to the bathroom and may not get there in time.

Causes of overactive bladder include:

• Aging
• Damage to muscles
• Damage to the bladder's nerves
• Damage to other parts of the nervous system

Conditions that may cause the above are as follows:

• multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson's disease 
• diabetes
• stroke can affect nerves, leading to urge incontinence
• Bladder problems, such as infections and bladder stones
• certain medications

 

Overflow Incontinence

Overflow incontinence occurs when one has problem emptying the bladder.

Causes include:

• Weak bladder muscles

• Constipation
• Certain medications

If not treated, it can lead to infections and other problems.

Functional Incontinence

Treatment options

 

In the past, there are other treatment options to rectified this issue such as follows:

• Surgery or repairs
• Electrical stimulation
• Botox injections in the cervix 

However, the above is normally not the solution of choice especially for women who are embarrassed to get treatment or go through an operation. 

 

The integrative treatment alternative

 

We at Absolute Health, highly recommend the latest innovation known as High-Intensity Focus Electro Magnetic Chair (HIFEM), from the United Kingdom. It has the ability to help firm up that pelvic muscle and rectify urinary incontinence issue. In addition, it can also strengthen the pelvic floor muscle which in turns increases the sexual function for ladies. Hence, it is also dubbed as “the chair of happiness”.

• Patients remain fully clothed
• No sexual abstinence
