Urinary incontinence is a common health issue among women that significantly affects quality of life. Characterized by uncontrolled leakage of urine, this condition can lead to social withdrawal, loss of self-confidence, and psychological problems. It can occur at any age but is more commonly seen in women who have given birth, are in menopause, or are of advanced age. Healme Clinic offers reliable solutions for urinary incontinence in women with a multidisciplinary approach, advanced diagnostic methods, and modern treatment options.
The pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in supporting organs such as the bladder and urethra. Weakening of these muscles can impair bladder control and cause urinary incontinence. Pregnancy, vaginal delivery, excessive weight, and aging contribute to the weakening of these muscles.
During menopause, the reduction in estrogen levels causes the urinary tract tissues to thin and lose elasticity. This can make bladder control more difficult.
Excessive contractions of the bladder muscles can result in sudden urges to urinate and involuntary leakage. This condition is known as "overactive bladder."
Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries, or stroke can impair the nervous control of the bladder, leading to incontinence.
Long-term constipation and persistent coughing increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can weaken the pelvic floor structures and result in urinary incontinence.
Urinary leakage triggered by increased abdominal pressure during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting heavy objects. It is the most common type and is related to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage before reaching the toilet. It is associated with an overactive bladder.
A combination of stress and urge incontinence. More common in older women and those who have given birth.
Caused by the inability to completely empty the bladder, resulting in continuous dribbling. Usually due to neurological issues.
Occurs when a physical or mental impairment prevents timely access to a toilet. Common in patients with dementia or mobility limitations.
Healme Clinic uses comprehensive diagnostic methods to accurately identify the cause of urinary incontinence in women. Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment planning.
Information is gathered about the frequency of incontinence, triggering activities, birth history, medications, and other health conditions. A pelvic exam is performed to assess anatomical structures.
These tests are used to determine whether a urinary tract infection is present. If an infection is found, it is treated first.
These tests evaluate the filling and emptying functions of the bladder and help determine the type of incontinence.
Used to assess the structural condition of pelvic organs, bladder capacity, and voiding function.
Healme Clinic offers personalized, modern, and evidence-based treatment approaches for urinary incontinence. The treatment plan is tailored according to the type of incontinence, the patient's lifestyle, and overall health condition.
For mild cases, the first step is to make lifestyle changes:
Exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic muscles. When performed regularly, they are highly effective for treating stress incontinence. Healme Clinic offers personalized exercise programs guided by specialized physiotherapists.
Used primarily for urge incontinence caused by an overactive bladder. These medications help relax the bladder muscles and reduce symptoms.
A method that uses electrical impulses to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Applied in cases unresponsive to exercise.
A pessary can provide support to the bladder in women with pelvic organ prolapse, helping to reduce stress incontinence.
Surgical options are considered for severe stress incontinence or when other treatments are ineffective. Healme Clinic performs high-success-rate surgeries using minimally invasive methods.
Post-surgical care includes infection control, evaluation of urinary function, and continuation of pelvic exercises. Healme Clinic offers individualized follow-up programs to ensure optimal recovery.
Urinary incontinence can have serious psychological and social consequences in addition to physical effects. Many women are too embarrassed to seek help. However, this condition is medically treatable. Healme Clinic provides both physical and emotional support to improve the overall well-being of its patients.
In some cases, yes. Strengthening pelvic floor muscles from a young age, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and preventing urinary tract infections can reduce the risk of incontinence.
