    Questions about Incontinence

    I am experiencing urinary incontinence and don't know where to start. Who can I speak with?
    If you’re experiencing stress incontinence (meaning leaks with pressure from laughing, sneezing, or jumping) or urge incontinence (sudden bladder pressure leading to leaks) our clinical team would be happy to discuss your options with you. Book a complimentary virtual consultation, and we'll ask you a few questions about your symptoms to decide if treatment might be right for you.
    Why is the pelvic floor important, and what causes a weak pelvic floor?
    The pelvic floor is made up of a set of invisible muscles that attach at the bottom of your pelvis. They help stabilize your core and impact fundamental activities like sex and bladder control. Your pelvic floor also provides protection to your spine and organs when you do certain activities, like lifting, coughing or laughing. When your pelvic floor muscles are healthy and strong, you are able to both relax and squeeze them voluntarily. Weak pelvic floor muscles impact your ability to do these activities and control your bladder at the same time. 
    Your pelvic floor can become weaker due to childbirth, pregnancy, obesity, injury, or changing hormones.
    How does having a baby impact the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence?
    During pregnancy, women carry extra weight, which puts extra downward pressure on their pelvic floor, stretching out these muscles. Some women do naturally rebuild their pelvic floor post childbirth, but for many women, pelvic floor therapy can help encourage that connection to their core and stronger pelvic floor muscles.
    How does Menopause impact the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence?
    Menopausal and postmenopausal women can have a weakened pelvic floor. During menopause, our estrogen levels decrease, which leads to a decrease in muscle mass. This impacts every type of muscle in the body, including the pelvic floor. Women experiencing menopause symptoms are often encouraged to incorporate more strength training into their routines. Electromagnetic Pelvic Floor Therapy can help strengthen the pelvic floor specifically.
    How does pelvic floor therapy help?
    Pelvic floor therapy helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through targeted exercises,  primarily kegels. Modern Age’s Electromagnetic Pelvic Floor Therapy accomplishes this faster, by helping the body produce over 11,000 kegels in a single 28 minute session. Over a number of sessions (as guided by your Modern Age clinician), this will help ease any pelvic  floor related issues, like urinary incontinence.

    More About Poor Bladder Control

    Poor bladder control and incontinence can be embarrassing and disruptive to daily life, especially for women. At Modern Age, we understand the impact of these conditions and want to create a safe space to find real solutions. 

    Bladder control issues in women can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, pelvic muscle weakness, and pregnancy. Hormonal imbalances, especially during menopause, can cause changes in the anatomy of the pelvic region and can increase the risk of incontinence.

    To address incontinence and improve bladder control, we offer a range of treatments and therapies, including pelvic floor muscle exercises, lifestyle modifications, and hormone therapy. Pelvic floor muscle exercises can help to strengthen the muscles that support the bladder and prevent incontinence, while lifestyle modifications, such as losing weight, reducing fluid intake, and avoiding bladder irritants, can also help to manage this condition. Hormone therapy can help to balance hormones and reduce the risk of incontinence.
