Relief from Leaks
is Possible

Approximately 78 million women in the U.S. suffer from urinary incontinence and of those, over 37% had Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The muscles in your urethra work like a valve, opening and closing as needed to let urine out. But with stress urinary incontinence, also called SUI, the pelvic muscles that normally support the bladder and the urethra are weakened. When this happens, urine leaks out of the bladder and can leave you feeling embarrassed, frustrated and unsure of what is happening to you.

About Urinary Incontinence

Are you living with Stress Urinary Incontinence?

The muscles in your urethra work like a valve, opening and closing as needed to let urine out. But with stress urinary incontinence, also called SUI, the pelvic muscles that normally support the bladder and the urethra are weakened. When this happens, urine leaks out of the bladder and can leave you feeling embarrassed, frustrated and unsure of what is happening to you.

Symptoms of stress urinary incontinence

Do you leak during any of the following activities?

Laughing
Coughing
Sneezing
Heavy lifting
Physical activity
Sex

If you can say “yes” to one or more, you should talk to a doctor who is familiar with SUI and discuss a more permanent solution for treating urine leakage.

What causes SUI?

SUI can slowly develop as you age and may also be the result of a specific event such as childbirth, or be a result of smoking, obesity or other previous tissue traumas in the area. Stress urinary incontinence occurs when the muscles that support the urethra or the muscle that controls the release of urine, the urinary sphincter, weaken. Stress incontinence does not have a connection to emotional stress.

What are your treatment options?

You name it, you’ve tried it. From pads, diapers, special underwear and Kegels – some of it helps, but doesn’t relieve the burden of SUI. You deserve a treatment that addresses the source of the problem, not something that just provides a temporary fix for symptoms.
