Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition where urine leaks involuntarily during physical activities that exert pressure on the bladder. The involuntary leakage of urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing or lifting heavy objects can be socially and emotionally challenging.
Causes:
Post-Childbirth: Childbirth, especially vaginal delivery, can cause damage or weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and supportive tissues, increasing the risk of urinary incontinence.
Aging: As we age, the pelvic floor muscles naturally weaken, which can contribute to incontinence.
Post-Menopause: The drop in estrogen levels after menopause can affect the health of pelvic floor tissues, leading to insufficient support for the urethra and increasing the risk of incontinence.
Obesity: Excess weight puts additional pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor, raising the likelihood of urine leakage.
Chronic Coughing: Persistent coughing can exert extra pressure on the bladder, leading to involuntary urine leakage.
Intimate Care
Proper intimate care is important to promote overall health and confidence. During childbirth, the vaginal canal stretches to accommodate the baby ,potentially resulting in loosened vaginal muscles and tissues. This can affect both comfort and sexual satisfaction.
Menopause, on the other hand, causes a decrease in oestrogen level, leading to thinning and vaginal dryness. further impacting comfort and intimacy.
Addressing these concerns through specialized care can help restore comfort, improve sexual satisfaction, and enhance overall well-being.
Post Partum Recovery
Common concerns addressed in postpartum:
Diastasis Recti: Diastasis recti refers to the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the midline during pregnancy, leading to a widening gap in the abdominal center. It can result in abdominal protrusion, discomfort in the lower back, and a weakened core.
Stretch Marks: Stretch marks are long, narrow streaks that occur when the skin is rapidly stretched, causing the elastic fibers in the skin layers to tear. They typically appear on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, and inner thighs, potentially affecting appearance and self-confidence.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI): Stress urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy objects.
