In order to deal with the problem of urinary incontinence before it intensifies, it is important for you to educate yourself, so that you can learn how to deal with its symptoms, even when they are not severe.
You may often consider that one or two unfortunate incidents of urinary incontinence are not linked with health issues and you tend to hide them, considering that it will not happen again. However, in order to make sure that you are not facing urinary incontinence, the best thing that you can do is to visit a specialized doctor. Through a very quick and simple procedure, you will find out whether there is a pathological issue and which are the methods to reverse it.
Which questions will the doctor ask in order to diagnose incontinence?
- When did the incontinence incidents occur?
- Which is the frequency of these incidents?
- What kind of discomfort do you observe?
Your medical history will include information such as the number of childbirths and their type (natural or c-section), other medical procedures, chronic diseases, heredity. All these aspects define the type of incontinence.
How many types of incontinence are there?
The truth is that there are different types of urinary incontinence, and women should become aware of these distinctions. Some types have very few symptoms, that a woman can ignore or underestimate. Some incontinence types are the following:
- Stress incontinence
If you observe involuntary urine loss during walking, exercise or when lifting weights, during sneezing or coughing, that is a symptom of incontinence. The same is true when you stand up from a seated position or when you are sitting down.
- Urge incontinence or overactive bladder
In this case, it is the sudden and intense need to urinate that provokes urinary loss. You may wake up often at night to visit the bathroom or you may just have that feeling.
- Mixed-type incontinence
It is a combination of effort and imperative incontinence, and it can manifest through the symptoms of both above types.
- Overflow incontinence
This is noted in cases where the bladder does not empty completely. This can be caused either from renal dysfunction or from an obstructed urethra.
Don’t waste time
When it comes to urinary incontinence, even when symptoms are not intense, the sooner a woman deals with the problem, the more therapy options there are. Βesides, it is clearly easier to revert the problem at its beginning than after it has evolved and become a constant embarrassment.
New methods applied exclusively by specialized doctors can resolve the issue of urinary incontinence without any discomfort. Vaginoplasty and Vagitense are two effective surgical operations which correct the vagina’s width, thus remediating incontinence and the collateral issues it provokes.
The upside to bloodless surgery
The most important thing to mention regarding both therapies, is the fact that they use the Laser technology. This means that they do not require total anesthesia, scalpel and stitches. Bloodless surgery requires very little recovery time and does not entail the ordeal and pain of classic surgery, nor does it deter you from maintaining your normal everyday activities.
You therefore have every reason to seek these solutions and consult your doctor in case you consider that incontinence is an issue.
