What Causes Incontinence?
Incontinence can be caused by several problems. In general, though, incontinence is a result of the muscles of the sphincter weakening. When this happens, the muscles are not strong enough to hold urine properly. This can cause bladder leaks and accidents without control.
One main reason these muscles become weakened is due to pregnancy. During pregnancy, the abdomen and all muscles in that area are stretched and this stretching will weaken the muscles and ligaments. After birth, especially following vaginal births and deliveries, it may take some time for these muscles to regain their strength.
Nerve damage can be another contributing factor to incontinence. Nerve damage will decrease the sensitivity of the nerves of the bladder and urethra. When this happens, you will not have the proper amount of control over urination.
Obesity is also a common cause of incontinence. When a person is carrying more weight, this weight can press down on the bladder, making it more difficult to hold urine.
Another common cause for this problem can be surgery or certain medications. Following surgery, muscles and nerves are often not functioning properly. This can make it difficult to control the bladder. Certain medications can affect muscle control or nerve sensitivity, as well.
How Is Incontinence Treated?
Incontinence can sometimes be treated with medication, which can be associated with undesirable side effects. There are also surgical procedures that can be done to help with incontinence, but this approach is riskier. There will be downtime and there are always failures and potential complications related to incontinence surgery to consider.
Our team at Emsculpt NEO of Weston, FL will be able to evaluate the causes and severity of your urinary incontinence to develop the best treatment plan for you. We believe that FDA-approved Emsella treatments, which are safe, extremely effective, non-invasive, painless, and convenient, should be the first-line approach to most incontinence issues.
