Stress incontinence
Regaining Control over Stress Incontinence with Confidence
Â
One in three women suffer from stress urine incontinence (SUI), a disorder that many go untreated. Urine leakage that occurs accidentally during routine physical activities that generate pressure (or “stress”) on the bladder, such laughing, sneezing, coughing, exercising, or even getting out of a chair, is what defines it.
Â
We at Rasa Derm think that your life shouldn’t be limited by leaks. Regardless of your age—30s, postpartum, or postmenopausal—you have the right to feel self-assured, active, and in charge of your physical appearance. We provide safe, non-surgical procedures that improve pelvic tone and bladder control without the need for surgery, medicine, or recovery time.
When the tissues and muscles that support the bladder and urethra deteriorate, stress incontinence results. Urine is normally held in place by the urethral sphincter and pelvic floor, even under strain. Leaks result from the urethra’s inability to remain completely closed under pressure when these supports are damaged. It’s crucial to remember that physical stress on the bladder, not emotional or mental stress, is what causes stress incontinence.
Urine leaks can be caused by very basic, daily tasks:
- Sneezing or coughing
- Having a good laugh
- Running or jumping
- Taking up hefty objects
- Abruptly getting up or sitting down
- Taking groceries or kids
- Having sex
Depending on how severe the issue is, some women may notice a few drops, while others may notice a greater leak.
Numerous conditions that weaken the pelvic floor muscles or harm the nerves that support and regulate the bladder might lead to stress incontinence.
The bladder is always under pressure from the expanding uterus during pregnancy. Furthermore, the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues may be stretched or torn during vaginal delivery. Leaks may start soon after birth or years later as a result of nerve injury sustained during delivery, which can further impair muscle function.
Women’s bodies naturally produce less estrogen as they age, particularly after menopause. The vaginal and urinary tissues’ strength and thickness are preserved in part by estrogen. When this hormone levels drop, it might lead to:
- weaker and thinner pelvic tissues
- decreased urethral wall elasticity
- Loss of natural lubricant and dryness
- Reduced muscular tone, which causes leakage
Surgery affecting the uterus, ovaries, or bladder, including hysterectomy, may inadvertently alter the pelvic floor’s typical structure. Surgery-related scar tissue or nerve damage may lessen the urethral support required to preserve continence.
Abdominal pressure is raised by excess body fat, and this has a direct effect on the bladder. Similarly, repetitive hard lifting, regular coughing (from smoking or asthma), or persistent constipation can gradually weaken pelvic support.
Some women have a genetic predisposition to collagen problems or poorer connective tissue. lifestyle choices like:
- Smoking (which alters estrogen and destroys connective tissue)
- Being sedentary
- Without pelvic training, high-impact sports can hasten or exacerbate the start of incontinence.
Although stress incontinence poses minimal health risks, it can cause mental and social distress:
- Continuous concern over leaks in public areas
- Avoiding workouts or limiting physical activity
- Taking extra clothes or pads with you everywhere
- Embarrassment in intimate situations
- Anxiety, loneliness, or a disturbed sense of self-worth
- Your relationships, independence, and quality of life may all be negatively impacted by this illness.Â
The good news, though? It is curable, frequently without the need for surgery.
