Menopause and Bladder Control Issues

Did you realize that nearly half of postmenopausal women experience challenges with bladder control, such as sudden urges to urinate on the way to the bathroom or involuntary leakage that can occur unexpectedly with actions like sneezing or laughing? These urinary complications are linked to hormonal fluctuations that cause a reduction in the elasticity of vaginal tissues, thinning of the urethral lining, and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

While bladder control problems are widespread, you don’t have to accept them as an inevitable part of aging! At Dr. Mantor's Wrinkle and Weight Solutions, we offer a comprehensive, three-pronged approach to assist you through the transitional phase of perimenopause and menopause, helping you manage and mitigate incontinence issues.

What solutions do we offer?

1.) Pelvic Floor Muscle Health

Engaging in exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as kegels and other types of pelvic floor therapy, can be highly effective. Our state-of-the-art EMSELLA device, affectionately known as "The Kegel Throne," allows you to sit comfortably, fully clothed, while high-intensity focused electromagnetic waves stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. This process is equivalent to performing approximately 11,000 Kegel exercises during each 28-minute session. Research indicates that Emsella has an impressive success rate, with up to 95% of users reporting enhanced bladder control and strengthened pelvic floor muscles.

2.) Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Our Menopause Specialist, Kristen Wisler CNP, MSCP, is adept at guiding you through your menopausal journey. Treatment plans may involve managing symptoms through behavioral modifications or medications, including hormone replacement therapy. This may encompass menopause hormone therapy and other beneficial treatments like pelvic floor muscle relaxation and strengthening. Comprehensive laboratory and diagnostic tests are conducted as needed to eliminate other potential causes of your symptoms.

3.) Weight Management & Nutritional Health.

Consulting a Registered Dietitian or nutritionist can be incredibly beneficial. Our Registered Dietitian offers tailored nutritional guidance designed to alleviate your symptoms and lower the risk of health issues associated with menopause.
