What Is Stress Incontinence?
Stress incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities that increase abdominal pressure. This common condition affects millions of people and can significantly impact quality of life and self-confidence.
Common Triggers
Urine leakage typically occurs during:
Coughing or sneezing
Laughing heartily
Physical exercise or sports activities
Heavy lifting or straining
Sudden movements or position changes
Walking or running
Underlying Causes
Stress incontinence develops when the pelvic floor muscles and urethral sphincter become weakened or damaged, compromising their ability to maintain bladder control. Contributing factors include:
Pregnancy and Childbirth: Vaginal delivery can stretch and weaken pelvic floor muscles and damage supporting nerves
Aging: Natural muscle weakening and hormonal changes, particularly during menopause
Surgical Procedures: Certain surgeries, including hysterectomy or prostate surgery, can affect pelvic floor integrity
Chronic Conditions: Persistent coughing from respiratory conditions or chronic constipation
Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, high-impact exercise, or occupations requiring heavy lifting
Genetic Predisposition: Family history of pelvic floor disorders
Existing Pelvic Conditions: Pelvic organ prolapse or other pelvic floor disorders increase the risk
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Therapy
Our treatment utilizes FDA-approved electromagnetic technology specifically designed to address stress incontinence by targeting and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
Electromagnetic Stimulation: High-intensity focused electromagnetic fields penetrate deep into pelvic floor tissues
Supramaximal Contractions: Technology induces powerful muscle contractions beyond what's achievable through voluntary exercise
Muscle Strengthening: Repeated contractions gradually strengthen and tone pelvic floor muscles
Neuromuscular Re-education: Treatment helps restore proper nerve-muscle communication and bladder control
Treatment Mechanism
The electromagnetic fields interact directly with motor neurons, causing deep pelvic floor muscle contractions similar to an intensified version of Kegel exercises. These contractions:
Strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles
Improve muscle tone and endurance
Restore neuromuscular control
Enhance support for the bladder and urethra
Reduce or eliminate stress incontinence symptoms
What to Expect During Treatment
Session Duration: Each treatment session lasts approximately 28 minutes
Positioning: Patients remain fully clothed while seated comfortably on the treatment device
Sensation: Most patients experience a gentle vibration or tingling sensation in the pelvic area
Muscle Contractions: The device delivers approximately 11,000 supramaximal contractions per session
Comfort Level: Treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal to no discomfort
Treatment Protocol
Initial Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation to determine treatment suitability and customize the protocol
Treatment Series: Optimal results typically require a series of sessions scheduled over several weeks
Session Frequency: Treatments are usually scheduled 2-3 times per week
Progress Monitoring: Regular assessment to track improvement and adjust treatment as needed
Clinical Outcomes
Research studies have demonstrated significant improvements in stress incontinence symptoms following electromagnetic pelvic floor therapy:
Reduction in urine leakage episodes
Improved bladder control during physical activities
Enhanced quality of life and confidence
Increased pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance
Timeline for Results
Immediate Effects: Some patients notice improvement after the first session
Progressive Improvement: Gradual enhancement of bladder control over the treatment series
Optimal Results: Maximum benefits typically achieved within 2-6 weeks of completing the treatment protocol
Long-term Maintenance: Results can be maintained with periodic maintenance sessions
Advantages of Electromagnetic Therapy
Non-Invasive: No surgery, injections, or invasive procedures required
Drug-Free: Natural strengthening approach without medication side effects
No Downtime: Resume normal activities immediately after treatment
Proven Technology: FDA-approved treatment with documented clinical effectiveness
Comfortable: Well-tolerated treatment with minimal side effects
Comprehensive: Addresses the root cause by strengthening supporting muscles
