Involuntary urine flow when coughing, sneezing, exercising or lifting heavy objects is a problem faced by many women around the world. At first, just one drop comes out once a month or even less, but then the problem grows and eventually women are forced to use sanitary pads every day and start going to the toilet frequently.
It is recommended to pay attention to involuntary urine flow as soon as you feel that one small drop is leaking. Even if it does not happen again. This is already a sign that you need to look for ways to avoid more incontinence problems in the future. Urinary incontinence causes physical, psychological and social discomfort – women are unable to communicate or behave freely, and they are constantly aware of the unpleasant smell of urine that may be coming from them. In Lithuania, women are reluctant and avoid talking about this problem, not only with their closest friends, but even with their doctors. “There’s nothing anyone can do,” she thinks.
Vaginal sagging and incontinence is a common problem for women around the world. It afflicts not only older women but also young women, sometimes even women under 30. When women first encounter a single leakage of urine, they are recommended to try Kegel exercises for the pelvic muscles, but they need to be done every day of their lives for the results to be really felt. It is rare that a woman has the willpower to do this, and not all women know how to do the exercises correctly. For quite a long time, women with persistent incontinence problems who opened the door to the doctor’s surgery and dared to ask for help were offered surgical treatment. Today, this invisible but inconvenient problem can be solved more quickly and, most importantly, without any discomfort: incontinence can be treated non-invasively.
