Treatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Treatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, affects both women and men of all ages – although it becomes more common as we get older. The good news is that there are several treatments that can minimize or eliminate bladder leaks. However, with so many treatments available, how do you know which is right for you?

Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women in Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Troy, MI and across Southeastern Michigan elliminate bladder leaks with just one treatment, with non-surgical Geneveve radiofrequency.

In this article we discuss the many bladder leak and incontinence treatments on the market – so you can compare “apples to apples” – and see why are patients prefer Geneveve treatments.

What Causes Bladder Leaks?

Before determining the best treatment for your bladder leakage, it is important to identify which of the two primary types of urinary incontinence you have.

Stress incontinence

If coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping or lifting heavy objects causes your leaks, you likely have stress incontinence. Stress incontinence eaks result when pressure inside your abdomen causes urine to leak through the ring of muscle in your bladder. Childbirth and normal aging are among the causes of this very common condition.

Urge incontinence

If your bladder suddenly empties without warning (even when not laughing, coughing or exerting) or you feel like you need to urinate frequently you may have urge incontinence – also called “overactive bladder.” Urge incontinence occurs when your brain, spinal cord, nerves and bladder don’t work together properly to hold and release urine at the right time.

Diseases that affect the nervous system (eg multiple sclerosis or stroke), can cause urge incontinence. But in many cases, doctors don’t can’t identify the cause of an overactive bladder.

Treatments for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

(1.) Kegel Exercises for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Kegel exercises (tighten the muscles in your pelvis) can help you become more leak-proof.

Pros:

  • Non-surgical
  • Helps with Stress Incontinence

Cons:

  • Takes a lot of work and dedication to exercise on a daily basis;
  • Does not improve Urge Incontinence

(2.) Medication for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Certain medications that can help your bladder hold more, reduce urgency and improve your ability to empty your bladder.

Pros:

  • Can treat Urge Incontinence

Cons:

  • Side effects can include drowsiness dry mouth, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, headache, increased blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, and more.

(3.) Topical Estrogen Therapy for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

After menopause, a woman’s body produces less estrogen, which can contribute to deterioration of the supportive tissues around the bladder and urethra.   Applying topical estrogen in the form of a vaginal cream may help rejuvenate deteriorating tissues in the vagina and urinary tract and relieve some incontinence symptoms.

Pros:

  • Can treat Stress Incontinence

Cons:

  • Requires messy application of cream to vagina
  • Linked to certain breast cancers or uterine cancers

(4.) Surgery for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

Surgical solutions for incontinence include inserting a strip of mesh to press against your urethra and prevent leaks. As with any surgery, there is the risk associated with the anesthetic as well as the risk of of infection.

Cons:

  • Mesh can erode through the vagina, causing infection, pain, and further urinary problems.
  • Scarring of the vagina and/or pain during sex can occur.
  • Injury to the bladder itself and nearby organs, like the bowel, is possible
  • Downtime after surgery

(5.) Vaginal Rejuvenation for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence

“Geneveve” is a new state-of-the-art non-surgical procedure that applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency, to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. This naturally strengthens and thickens the muscles and tissue surrounding the bladder and in the walls of the vagina – and embarrassing bladder leakage decreases.

Only one 30 to 45 minute Geneveve treatment is needed for most women. It is performed in the comfort of our discreet, state-of-the-art Birmingham, Mi medical office under the supervision of renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali.

Because Geneveve is a non-surgical procedure, no anesthetic is needed and there is no incision or scarring. There is also no downtime!

Pros:

  • Painless
  • Non-Surgical
  • No Downtime
  • Only Takes One Treatment
  • No Side Effects

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Is Your Vagina Healthy?

Is Your Vagina Healthy?

If your teeth hurt or you have a cavity you’re quick to schedule a dentist’s appointment – and you feel no shame in mentioning your toothache to friends. And if you can’t see as well now that you’re getting a little older, it’s off to the ophthalmologist.

However, when it comes to problems “down there” the vast majority of women are still uncomfortable discussing their vaginal issues, or seeking out medical treatments that can improve the situation.

But maintaining vaginal health is an important part of living life to the fullest, and should be addressed just like any other aspect of maintaining good health.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Restores Vaginal Health

Ensuring vaginal health not only assures a better sex life for you (and your partner) but also helps prevent chronic and embarrassing issues like bladder leaks, and vaginal dryness and itching.

The vast majority of the women who come to our Medical Spa for cosmetic procedures are looking for help dealing with wrinkles, aging skin, sagging breasts, or unwanted fat. But while these patients know that we can rejuvenate their skin, body and breasts, very few realize that we can also rejuvenate their vaginas!

In fact, we offer amazing new nonsurgical ways to truly help women tighten and refresh their vaginal tissue – improving their sexual intimacy and quality of life.

Just like skin, vaginal tissue relies on collagen for its strength, tightness, elasticity and support. And, just like skin, the normal aging process, gravity and physical stresses over the years can cause the vagina to become stretched and weakened. The result is a vaginal looseness called laxity.

And, just like a wrinkle here or there, vaginal laxity is nothing to be embarrassed about, as it happens to almost 50% of women! This means that millions of women suffer with vaginal laxity – with doctors reporting that vaginal laxity is the number one physical change occurring after a vaginal delivery.

With so many women suffering from this, it is a shame that so few people are willing to have an open conversation about it.

The Geneveve treatment was specifically designed to help the millions of women who silently accept vaginal laxity and the associated conditions like bladder leaks, without seeking help.

With a single, comfortable, non-surgical 30 minute treatment Geneveve works on a cellular level to rebuild and restore collagen within the vaginal tissue.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Facts & Figures

Vaginal Rejuvenation Statistics

Vaginal rejuvenation is one of the hottest new cosmetic trends in 2018, according to RealSelf, the most prominent website that ranks cosmetic procedures based on consumer opinions.

Interest in the vaginal rejuvenation category on Real Self increased by 17 percent from 2016 to 2017. In fact, in the past year vaginal tightening actually beat out fat reduction, as the most researched and most desirable cosmetic procedure on Real Self!

Social Media Spreads the Word About Vaginal Rejuvenation

Much of this interest is believed to stem from celebrities and “influencers” spreading the word on television and social media about how vaginal rejuvenation treatments have improved their lives. Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Jada Pinkett Smith and many other high profile figures have all become outspoken fans of radiofrequency (“laser”) vaginal tightening.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2016 report included data on vaginal rejuvenation for the first time. That report showed a 39% increase in demand over 2015, with more than 12,000 procedures completed in 2016 alone.

In our Oakland County Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic procedure office we offer the latest, state-of-the-art vaginal tightening and rejuvenation by Vive called “Geneveve”.

On Real Self a remarkable 97% of women who underwent the Geneveve vaginal tightening procedures reported that the treatment was “worth it.” This is even a slightly a higher satisfaction rate than most other brands of vaginal rejuvenation, including: FemiLift 94%, MonaLisa Touch 92% and ThermiVa 91%.

“Just in the last five years there have been considerable investments in new technologies,” RealSelf CEO Tom Seery said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “These new-to-market devices are not just gaining popularity but more importantly, they are ranking high in consumer satisfaction.”

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

It’s no secret that almost every celebrity has had some cosmetic procedure – whether it is as noticeable as a breast augmentation or something more subtle, like Botox injections.

But you might be surprised to learn that now celebrities are opening up about getting “work done” everywhere – including “below the belt.”

While everyone was talking about Kylie Jenner’s lip injections in 2017, this year’s hot celebrity cosmetic topic is vaginal rejuvenation, or vaginal tightening.

Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jada Pinkett Smith and Brandi Glanville are publicly singing the praises of this amazing, new, non-surgical technology for restoring vaginal tightness and sensation.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal Rejuvenation is less invasive procedures than surgical labiaplasty – with no anesthetic, no downtime and no recovery time.

This state-of-the-art procedure applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency. This stimulates collagen production, which helps to strengthen and thicken the tissues in the walls of the vagina.

As a result of the thickened and strengthened vaginal tissue, the vagina feels tighter. This not only increases sexual sensation and reduces dryness, but also helps stop embarrassing bladder leakage.

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Kim & Kourtney Kardashian had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, always on the cutting edge, have both had vaginal rejuvenation.

“My sisters they’ve had kids, and there’s a vaginal lasering, to tighten,” said Khloé discussing the procedure on her talk show, Kocktails With Khloé. “In my household all they do is talk about this vagina lasering. It’s like their discussion back and forth.”

Love and Hip Hop’s Hazel E had Vaginal Rejuvenation

Love and Hip Hop‘s Hazel E not only underwent vaginal rejuvenation — but also live-streamed it on Facebook!

Afterwards she posted on Instagram: “If your fave doctor said, ‘Hey, there is a new treatment to increase your orgasm and make your vagina look 16 again,’ I’m sure any of you … would get it too.”

“New man … is 10 years younger, now my vagina is too.” She continued in her inimitable, over-the-top-style!

Real Housewives Sonja Morgan had Vaginal Rejuvenation

“I go to a [Med Spa] all the time for my hair laser removal,” she said on the TV show Real Housewives of New York, continuing to explain that while she was there “They do this tightening and lubricating process… I’ve never had any complaints. It’s always been very good.”

How to Stop Bladder Leaks (Part 1)

How to Stop Bladder Leaks (Part 1)

Research has shown that more than half of people who experience bladder leaks (“urinary incontinence”) don’t discuss the condition with their health care provider. But there is really no need to feel embarrassed, since 1 in every 3 women experience bladder leakage when they laugh, sneeze, cough or workout.

Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, affects both women and men of all ages – although it becomes more common as we get older. The good news is that there are new treatments that can minimize or eliminate bladder leaks without surgery – sometimes with just one treatment.

What Causes Bladder Leaks?

There are two main types of urinary incontinence stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Knowing which type you have can help you and your doctor determine the best treatment.

  • Stress Incontinence Bladder Leaks

If you have stress incontinence, activities that raise the pressure inside your abdomen cause urine to leak through the muscle in your bladder that normally holds it in. With stress incontinence, coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, exercising jumping and lifting heavy objects is often responsible for a urine leak.

Childbirth, smoking, age or being overweight raises the risk of stress incontinence in women. Stress incontinence is much more rare in men and is often due to prostate cancer treatment, such as radiation or surgery.

  • Urge Incontinence Bladder Leaks

Urge Incontinence – also called overactive bladder – is a medical condition in which the brain, spinal cord and bladder don’t work together properly to hold and release urine at the right time. The bladder may suddenly empty, or a person may feel the need to urinate frequently.

Diseases that affect the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, can cause urge incontinence in men and women. In men, an enlarged prostate may be the cause. However, in many cases, doctors can’t identify what causes urge incontinence.

It is also possible to have both types of incontinence at the same time. Fortunately, the majority of both types of urinary incontinence can either be cured or significantly improved.

Home Remedies for Bladder Leaks

There are some steps you can take at home to cut down on bladder leaks.

Avoiding certain foods, drinks and ingredients can help reduce bladder leaks, including:
·Alcohol
·Artificial sweeteners
·Caffeine
·Carbonated beverages
·Chocolate
·Citrus fruits and tomatoes
·Corn syrup
·Honey
·Spicy foods

Overweight and obese women who lose weight also report fewer episodes of bladder leakage. But we all know that weight loss is much easier said than done.

Certain exercises can help control your bladder to some extent, including “Kegel” exercises in which you tighten pelvic muscles to strengthen them.

While these “home remedies”can help to some extent with frustrating bladder leakage, they can be an inconvenience and often are difficult to “follow through” with.

Fortunately, state-of-the-art medical treatments now make it very ease to treat leaking bladders – without surgery! In PART 2 of this article we discuss these new and exciting non-surgical treatments for urinary incontinence!

In this article we discuss the various medical treatments available for bladder leaks – including the new and exciting non-surgical Geneveve vaginal tightening procedure that minimizes or stops bladder leaks with just one 30 minute treatment!

Medications for Bladder Leaks

Certain medications can help your bladder hold more, reduce urgency and improve your ability to empty your bladder if you suffer from bladder leaks. There is also a recently approved patch for overactive bladder that helps relax the bladder muscle – however the patch does not improve Stress Incontinence.

As with any medications, there are side effects and interactions. So while medication may be the best option for some people – Radiofrequency Vaginal Tightening (below) offers natural, long-lasting results without the need for strong medications.

Surgery for Bladder Leaks

Mesh Surgery for bladder leaks was commonly performed – however many serious complications were reported in women who underwent this surgery. You may even have seen television commercials with information on the many resulting lawsuits.

In this surgery, doctors inserted a strip of mesh to press against your urethra and prevent leaks. However, due to reports of these severe complications, in 2016 the FDA changed the classification of surgical mesh repair to a high-risk device.

Fortunately, newer non-surgical treatments like Radiofrequency Vaginal Tightening (below) are now available to treat many cases of bladder leakage.

Radiofrequency Vaginal Tightening for Bladder Leaks

“Geneveve” is a new state-of-the-art non-surgical procedure that applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency, to stimulate the body’s own collagen production.

Which Vaginal Tightening Treatment is Best ?

vaginal tightening

Comparing Treatments for Vaginal Tightening – 

Vaginal looseness – which occurs after childbirth or as a result of age or menopause – affects millions of women. Vaginal laxity can interfere with sexual intimacy as well as cause embarrassing bladder leakage.

There are many different types of treatment for this condition. So how does a woman know which is the best one?

Renowned Birmingham board certified plastic surgeon firmly believes that the Geneveve™ non-surgical radiofrequency vaginal tightening procedure is the superior vaginal tissue & muscle rejuvenation treatment.

In this article we compare the various vaginal tightening procedures, so you can make an informed decision that will restore your sexual health and eliminate embarrassing bladder leakage.

Kegel Exercises for Vaginal Tightening

Most gynecologists begin to address vaginal looseness by suggesting Kegel exercise to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

While “Kegels” can indeed be helpful to a limited extent, they only improve muscle tone. They do NOT remedy the loss of elasticity in the vagina’s soft tissue that rests over the muscle and contributes to vaginal laxity.

Additionally, who wants to have to do vaginal exercises everday, when a single Geneveve radiofrequency treatment can accomplish the same results in one 30 minute treatment?

Hormone Therapy for Vaginal Tightening

Many doctor’s prescribe hormone replacement therapy for post menopausal women to replace the estrogens that their body is no longer producing.

However the synthetic estrogen commonly used in hormone replacemnet therapy should only be used for short-term therapy because it has been linked to serious medical risks such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

While estrogen does stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the vaginal tissue, its risks may outweigh the benefits in the long run. Especially when a single, safe Geneveve radiofrequency treatment can accomplish the same collagen productoin in the vagina without the risks.

Surgical Vaginal Tightening:  Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty is a surgery that tightens the vaginal wall at the entry point to the vagina. Anesthetic is administered and incisions are made on the inside of the vagina. Recovery time is typically two weeks.

Although vaginoplasty is a safe and fairly “routine” surgery when performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon like Dr. Ali, any surgery comes with risks including scarring, infection and reaction to anesthesia. Additionally, vaginoplasty can cost up to $9,000 and is typically not covered by health insurance as it is usually considered an elective procedure.

Geneveve radiofrequency treatments acheive the same vaginal tightening with no surgery, no anesthetic and no downtime at only a fraction of the cost of vaginoplast surgery.

Laser Vaginal Tightening

There are a number of laser treatments available for vaginal rejuvenation, including: DiVa, Femilift, MonaLisa Touch, Juliet, and IntimaLase.

Laser treatments insert a small laser in the vagina to heat the tissue. Unlike Geneve there is NOT a cooling component, so anesthetic must be used with laser vaginal treatments.

Additionally, multiple laser treatment sessions are required  – while only a single Geneve treatment is typically needed.

Side effects of laser treatments may include cramping and spotting – and patients usually have to apply a healing cream and abstain from sex for several days. With Geneve there are no side effects and you may resume sexual intimacy immediately.

Radiofrequency Vaginal Tightening Treatments

There are various treatments available that use radiofrequency, including Geneveve, ThermiVa and Ultra Femme 360 – so it is important to choose the best one.

For example, the Ultra Femme 360 treatment requires three separate visit, while Geneve typically only requires a single 30 minute treatment. In fact Geneve is the only radiofrequency procedure that only needs one session to acheive full results.

And, because Geneve only requires one treatment it ends up being less expensive than other multi-treatment radio frequency regimens.

Additionally, most radiofrequency treatments require anesthetic, have side effects of cramping and/or spotting, and patients must abstain from sex for at least 2 days.

Geneveve treatment is superior becaue it uses a patented cryogen-cooling to protect the vaginal tissue, so no anesthetic is needed. There is no cramping, no spotting, no aftercare cream, and normal activity (including intimacy) may be resumed immediately with no downtime.

Vaginal Tightening Treatments – Birmingham, MI

For all of the reasons stated above, renowned Birmingham MI plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has determined that Geneveve is by far the best vaginal tightening and rejuvenation treatment to offer his patients. Whether you are suffering from embarrassing bladder leakage, or a frustrating loss of vaginal tightness and sexual sensation, Geneve is a life changing procedure.
