What causes urinary incontinence in women?

Urinary incontinence is usually seen in women because of reproductive health events exclusive to women like pregnancy, vaginal delivery, and menopause. These reproductive health events feature hormonal fluctuations and affect the pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra, bladder, uterus, and bowels.

When the pelvic floor muscles become weak or damaged, the support to the urinary tract gets weak, and the urinary tract muscles have to work harder to hold urine until they are ready to urinate. Such extra pressure or stress on the urinary bladder and urethra can lead to urine leakage or urinary incontinence.

Furthermore, women have shorter urethra than men so any weakness or damage to the urethra could lead to more chances of urinary incontinence due to not enough muscles to keep the urine in the bladder.

The culprits of urinary incontinence in women could be being overweight/obese, having chronic constipation, damaged nerves of the pelvic floor, urethra, or bladder; and surgery of female reproductive organs like hysterectomy that damages the pelvic floor muscles. In some women, urinary incontinence may be short-lived and the result of certain infections, medicines, and caffeine intake.

What are the symptoms of urinary incontinence in women?

Some women experience loss of bladder control along with other urinary symptoms:

  • Bedwetting
  • Frequent visit to the washroom to urinate
  • Spasms or pressure in the pelvic region that leads to a strong urge to urinate.

Types of Urinary Incontinence Affecting Women

  • Stress incontinence- This is the most common form of incontinence in younger women. It happens when there is stress or pressure on the bladder. Any action that involves pelvic floor muscle movement such as coughing, laughing, and sudden physical activities can cause leakage of urine.
  • Urge incontinence- This type is commonly seen in older women during sleep, after drinking water, or when they hear or touch running water. It is characterized by urine leakage when there is a sudden, strong urge to urinate and the person is unable to get to the washroom in time.

How can female urinary incontinence be medically treated?

  1. BTL EMSELLA- This is a non-invasive, innovative physiotherapy treatment recommended for the treatment of urinary incontinence in Hyderabad offered at Eternelle Aesthetics. Mothers having stress incontinence after childbirth benefit the most from this therapy. The treatment involves the use of High-Intensity Focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles. The patient just needs to sit back and relax on a BTL EMSELLA chair for 28 minutes to receive thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions- equivalent to 11,000 kegel exercises. The full control over pelvic floor muscles and bladder of women is usually seen after a course of 6 treatment sessions over three weeks.

  2. Vaginoplasty (Vaginal tightening)- Some women are unable to regain bladder control after performing Kegel exercise or visiting a physiotherapist. In such cases, surgical intervention with vaginoplasty may be needed to restore their normal bladder function. Vaginoplasty is a one-hour vaginal tightening surgical procedure that permanently reduces the opening of the vagina by repositioning the pelvic floor muscles. This operation can help fix bladder prolapse after childbirth that results from thinning of muscles around the vagina due to stress placed on the pelvic floor. By treating bladder prolapse, normal urination is restored in females having urinary incontinence.
