Urinary Incontinence

Urinary ‘urge’ Incontinence (UI) and overactive or leaky bladder in women can be caused by low levels of the female hormone oestrogen, a common outcome of the menopause. These conditions can also be brought on by childbirth and other health issues that weaken the pelvic floor or damage nerves that control the bladder function.

Oestrogen is the hormone that maintains a healthy vaginal environment and also keeps the bladder and urethra healthy. When oestrogen levels drop during and after the menopause, this can cause pelvic muscles to weaken, reducing bladder support and your ability to hold in urine. This hypo-oestrogenic state can also bring on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, like frequent and strong urges to urinate.

Women experiencing UI, may also suffer burning with urination and vaginal and bladder infections linked to changes to the pH and bacterial flora in the vagina.

Other possible causes of urinary stress incontinence include:

• hormonal changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth
• obesity
• smoking
• excessive consumption of caffeine or alcohol
• high-impact sporting activity
• frequent coughing or sneezing
• the effects of aging

The FemiLift’s of CO2 laser treatment has been demonstrated to significantly restore the normal vaginal architecture and environment as if the oestrogen was still there; thereby improving many of the unpleasant consequences of low oestrogen states. Most women also report significant improvement in sexual function after the very first treatment and less leaking during intercourse and exercise.
