Women experience changes to the most intimate area of their body, beginning relatively early in their lives. Vaginal childbirth, the natural aging process, genetic factors and surgical interventions change the collagen and elastin fibers of a woman’s pelvic floor and are considered to be the main causes of incontinence and vaginal laxity. As a result of these challenges, the vaginal wall loses its strength, and women may not feel as much sensation during intercourse, which can dramatically affect their quality of life and sexual health and intimate life within a marriage or relationship. Today, there are many solutions that allow women to regain a sense of relief from the shame or lack of intimacy.
One of the most pressing challenges that face women of all ages, is incontinence. Incontinence is the loss of bladder control, varying from a slight loss of urine after sneezing, coughing, or laughing to complete inability to control urination. There are two types of incontinence: Stress Urinary Incontinence and Urge Incontinence.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is when there is leakage caused by pressure or sudden muscle contractions. SUI occurs during times like exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughter, and heavy lifting. Additionally, in younger women, SUI may begin after childbirth and in middle-aged women, or may begin to be problematic at menopause.
Urge incontinence (UI) is the leakage of urine that is triggered by a strong, uncontrollable urge to immediately urinate. This is the type of leakage that most commonly occurs on your way to the bathroom when you can’t get there in time.
In general, urinary incontinence is nothing to be embarrassed by or feel the need to suffer in silence about. At A Step Above Wellness Center we have the cutting-edge incontinence treatment, EMSella, "Kegel Throne". BTL EMSella is the first device of its kind that is FDA-approved for treating urinary incontinence without any surgery or downtime. In fact, this treatment is so non-invasive, you never even have to remove a single article of clothing! By using electromagnetic technology (similar to that of an MRI), Emsella stimulates the tissues of the pelvic floor, exercising the muscles, building up strength and restoring support for the pelvic organs. BTL Emsella is so powerful, just one 28-minute session provokes 11,800 supramaximal contractions, which is equivalent to performing 11,800 Kegel exercises! In as little as 3 weeks (a total of 6 treatments performed twice a week) you can improve your urinary incontinence by nearly 95%.
A Step Above Wellness Centre offers complimentary consultations to thoroughly educate clients before a decision is made on an aesthetic procedure. Not only does it allow us to get to know you, it allows us to honestly describe the process and results which may be achieved. Read more...
