Incontinence: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
Regain control and confidence with non-invasive treatments for stress urinary incontinence at Elevate Medical Aesthetics. Our personalised solutions are designed to improve bladder function and enhance your quality of life.
What Is Stress Urninary Incontinence (SUI)?
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is a common condition affecting many women, characterised by the unintentional leakage of urine during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising. This can significantly impact quality of life, but effective treatments are available.
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Wakefield, Yorkshire, we offer non-invasive treatments designed to help manage and potentially resolve SUI, restoring your confidence and control.
Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Involuntary urine leakage during physical activities or movements that increase pressure on the bladder.
Difficulty controlling urine flow when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Frequent episodes of urine leakage, leading to embarrassment or discomfort.
Reduced confidence in social or physical activities.
Causes of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Weakened Pelvic Floor Muscles: Often caused by childbirth, ageing, or hormonal changes, weakening the support for the bladder and urethra.
Pelvic Surgery: Surgical interventions can sometimes damage the muscles or tissues involved in bladder control.
Ageing: Bladder muscles lose strength with age, reducing urine storage capacity.
Chronic Health Conditions: Conditions like diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke can affect nerve signals related to bladder control.
Effective Treatments for Stress Urinary Incontinence at Elevate Medical Aesthetics
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics, we provide non-invasive treatments tailored to alleviate symptoms of SUI and improve quality of life. Votiva Vaginal Tightening treatment is a safe and comfortable procedure effective in reducing symptoms of SUI. 3–5 treatments are typically, depending on severity, with minimal downtime.
Votiva is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat and stimulate vaginal tissue and the pelvic floor area. This process encourages collagen production and strengthens the muscles and tissues supporting the bladder and urethra, leading to improved urinary control.
All treatments are carried out by our specialist registered nurses, ensuring a professional and sensitive approach to your care. Regain control over your bladder function and improve your quality of life with personalised care at Elevate Medical Aesthetics.
