Urinary incontinence simply means leaking urine. Incontinence can range from leaking just a few drops of urine to complete emptying of the bladder. Incontinence is a common problem, and there are many treatment options available. Urinary incontinence in women can be divided into three main types:
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Urgency urinary incontinence
- Mixed incontinence
No matter the type of incontinence, weakened pelvic floor muscles or atrophic vaginal mucosa can increase the incidence and severity of urine leakage. Strengthening the pelvic muscles and surrounding ligaments along with treating the vaginal mucosa with radiofrequency, biofeedback, exercises, hormone therapy, and PRP can be helpful in the treatment of all types of incontinence.
