Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Kenmore NY

The most common cause of urinary incontinence is a weak pelvic floor. Everyone has a pelvic floor, so anyone can be at risk of developing incontinence at some point.

These are some of the most common risk factors:

• Age: It is more common in older adults because muscles get weaker as we get older.
• Gender: Women are more likely to experience urinary incontinence, especially after childbirth or during menopause.
• Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or injuries can lead to bladder concerns or pelvic floor issues.
• Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and high caffeine or alcohol intake can increase the risk of developing incontinence.

Struggling with incontinence can run the gamut from inconvenient to debilitating, depending on your specific conditions.

While it’s common in older adults, urinary incontinence is not necessarily a normal or unavoidable part of aging. That’s why we offer urinary incontinence treatment in Kenmore.

Unfortunately, urinary incontinence is really easy to notice. Common symptoms are needing to urinate more frequently, difficulty stopping or starting, and unintentional leaks which are usually connected to coughing, laughing, or sneezing. The unexpected contraction of the abdominal muscles puts pressure on the bladder, and next thing you know, you’ve sprung a leak.

If you’re starting to experience these symptoms, make an appointment at my practice to see about urinary incontinence treatment in Kenmore. Many people find relief through treatment and go on to live a dry and happy life.

We offer several solutions for urinary incontinence treatment in Kenmore. How we treat your incontinence very much depends on the cause.

Because urinary incontinence is most often caused by weak pelvic floor muscles, at my practice we recommend Emsella treatments to help strengthen the pelvic floor and relieve symptoms.

Emsella is completely noninvasive. It’s as easy as sitting in a specialized chair. You don’t even have to get undressed! Emsella uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation to help strengthen the pelvic floor in quick, 30-minute sessions. You can get the benefits of doing thousands of kegels, without having to actually do thousands of kegels. It also works for men!

While not all cases are preventable, it’s possible to reduce your risk of developing incontinence by maintaining a healthy weight, practicing pelvic floor exercises (like kegels), avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol, and quit smoking. Seriously, quit smoking.
