Incontinence is lonely and hard to talk about

We all know the dreadful feeling of needing the bathroom suddenly to empty the bladder while having coffee with friends or while out shopping and how humiliating and embarrassing it is to be caught short and leak urine. Imagine the awful feeling with an over whelming urge to empty your bladder and not making it to the bathroom on time. Worse still is the fear of not being able to control stool or gas. New Mums (and some not so new mums!) up and down the country are dealing with these awful problems.  Help is available to give yourself back your freedom without fear of bladder and bowel leaks, for normal sexual function (to be able to orgasm or climax correctly) and to ensure optimal bowel and bladder emptying and solve constipation!

Progressive pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first line treatment for incontinence (CG171 NICE Guideline 2016). Two thirds of women with any type of incontinence who have pelvic floor muscle training see improvements or cure with 75% of women reporting resolution of symptoms such as episodes of incontinence (National Institute of Research doi:10.33310/signal-000702. That’s 2 out of 3 women will be cured of incontinence with pelvic floor muscle training and the third woman will be improved! This is also reflected in women and men for faecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual and erectile dysfunction
