It may be embarrassing, but stress urinary incontinence is a common problem among women. It’s also highly treatable. In fact, eight in 10 women who seek treatment see an improvement or are cured.
Stress incontinence occurs when any kind of pressure is put on your bladder, such as when you sneeze, laugh, lift, cough, exercise, or even rise from a chair. Childbirth and weight gain are two common causes of incontinence because these conditions stretch the pelvic floor muscles. hormone changes during menopause, some medications and other factors can also cause incontinence.
Your physician has many treatment options, including medication, biofeedback, strength exercises and, in extreme cases, surgery.
There is also the Myself U Pelvic Muscle Trainer, previously available by prescription, Myself, Pelvic Muscle Trainer, guides women through a five minute exercise program that strengthens and tones the pelvic floor muscles.
Myself is easy to use; just turn on the trainer and follow the cues on the screen. Each time “pump” is displayed, press the pump button once to fill the vaginal sensor with air. The sensor will form fit to each individual woman, allowing the trainer to measure the sensor’s resistance to each pelvic muscle contraction.
When “flex” is displayed, contract your pelvic muscles. The trainer immediately displays visual feedback on the strength and duration of each contraction. During the “relax” periods, the trainer will alert you if you are not fully relaxing your muscles.
The first four minutes of the exercise session guides you through 10 second contractions, building endurance; the final one minute guides you through quick, one second contractions, building strength. This exercise program is specifically designed to work both the long and short muscle fibers ensuring ideal muscle tone and strength.
