Urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women, yet it is rarely spoken about openly. For many, it begins gradually, perhaps with small leaks when coughing, laughing, or exercising, but over time it can start to impact confidence, daily routines, and quality of life.
While it may feel like something you have to live with, there are now effective urinary incontinence treatments for women, including non-surgical options that can help improve control and restore confidence.
“Urinary incontinence is very common, particularly after childbirth or during menopause, but it is often underreported. The important thing to understand is that in many cases, it can be improved with the right treatment approach.” – Dr Ioannis Liakas
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. The most common type in women is stress incontinence, which occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder during activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
Some women may also experience urgency, where there is a sudden, strong need to urinate.
Urinary incontinence is often linked to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and help control urination.
Common causes include:
Over time, these factors can reduce the strength and support of the pelvic floor, making it more difficult to maintain bladder control.
In many cases, yes. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and how early intervention begins.
Some women see improvement with lifestyle changes and pelvic floor exercises, while others benefit from more targeted treatments that help strengthen the muscles more effectively.
There are several approaches to managing urinary incontinence, depending on your individual needs.
These include pelvic floor exercises, medical management, and in some cases surgical procedures. However, not everyone wants or needs invasive treatment, which is why non-surgical options are becoming increasingly popular.
“This was my last session of a series on the Caress Flow machine. The treatment has been very successful and I am very glad to have had it done. I can feel my confidence coming back both mentally and physically. Vie is a lovely clinic and a pleasant place to visit. Although the procedure was an intimate one Dr.Liakas’s professionalism and easy friendly manner put me at ease. The treatment was totally painless and I would have no hesitation in going through it again if need be” -Margaret, 81
Caress Flow is a non-surgical treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control.
