After having a baby, you already have so much on your plate. Dealing with an annoying medical issue shouldn’t contribute to your stress level. Unfortunately, urinary incontinence is not uncommon at all after childbirth, so you’re not alone.

It’s important to talk to a postpartum urinary incontinence specialist if you are experiencing any uncomfortable symptoms. You do have treatment options to eliminate them, as well as the discomfort, embarrassment, or other feelings associated with this condition.

When Should You See a Postpartum Urinary Incontinence Specialist?

Urinary incontinence, or leaking of urine, can be temporary or long term. Up to 20% of women still have symptoms five years or more after childbirth. The following are signs you need to see a licensed medical provider at a medspa or elsewhere for help with your symptoms:

• Leakage of urine when laughing, coughing, sneezing, and / or during any type of physical activity
• A sudden and intense urge to urinate
• Difficulty controlling your bladder

A few common types of urinary incontinence after childbirth include:

• Stress incontinence: This type of incontinence occurs when there is an increase in abdominal pressure, such as during any movement or activity. It is especially common during pregnancy and childbirth.
• Urge incontinence: This type is indicated by a strong and sudden urge to urinate and can lead to the involuntary loss of urine.
• Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence, individuals with mixed incontinence experience the symptoms of both.

What Treatment Can Help?

There are a number of therapies that can help you improve your condition, including physical therapy for pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, bladder retraining, and medication.

Your postpartum urinary incontinence specialist may recommend non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments, such as laser therapy or PRP injections called the O-shot. Many people are turning to non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation to help restore normalcy after giving birth.
