Bladder incontinence, a common issue that affects many men and women, can be both frustrating and embarrassing. It often leads to urinary leaks, impacting daily life and overall confidence. At MEX Physio, we specialize in providing effective bladder incontinence treatment, focusing on strengthening pelvic floor muscles to help manage and alleviate symptoms.
Understanding Bladder Incontinence
Bladder incontinence, or urinary incontinence, refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, childbirth, surgery, or certain medical conditions. Regardless of the cause, the impact on daily activities can be significant, leading many to seek effective solutions.
The Role of Pelvic Floor Muscles
The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in bladder control. These muscles support the bladder and urethra, helping to maintain proper function and control over urinary flow. When these muscles are weakened, either due to childbirth, surgery, or other factors, bladder control can be compromised, leading to urinary leaks.
Effective Bladder Incontinence Treatment
At MEX Physio, we understand the importance of a personalized approach to bladder incontinence treatment. Our experienced physiotherapists work closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs. Here are some of the effective methods we use:
- Internal Assessment: Detailed internal assessment provides the Clinician about the overall health of their pelvic floor and enables them to understand the strength of the pelvic floor along with any existing pelvic organ prolapse.
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: One of the most effective ways to strengthen pelvic floor muscles is through targeted exercises. Commonly known as Kegel exercises, these movements involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. Our physiotherapists guide patients through the proper technique, ensuring maximum effectiveness to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor and preventing further strain.
- Electrical Stimulation: For some patients, electrical stimulation can be an effective addition to their treatment plan. This method involves using a mild electrical current to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles, promoting strength and control over time. This can be achieved either by using an internal probe or research proven Emsella Chair where the client are clothed throughout the treatment.
- Bladder Training: In addition to strengthening exercises, bladder training can help improve control and reduce urinary leaks. This involves following a scheduled voiding regimen and gradually increasing the time between bathroom visits, retraining the bladder to hold urine more effectively.
