Overflow Incontinence?

Overflow incontinence is one type of inability to control urination in women, which may often result from weakened bladder muscles that are unable to squeeze the bladder empty, swelling from infections or atrophy in the urethra. When your bladder and the muscles around the opening of your bladder, which control urine flow, are atrophied, you may experience leakage even if your bladder is not completely full.

The treatment works by triggering new collagen growth, which is the key to rebuilding muscular tissue around the bladder, as well as in the musculature and tissue structure that controls urine flow, including the bladder wall muscle support. Your doctor will use either radio frequency or fractional CO2 laser technology to tighten along the base of the overlying bladder, effectively resolving your problem of overflow incontinence. A gentle probe emits 3600 pulse to produce an opening at intervals of several millimeters into the collagen under the dermis, the layer just under the vaginal skin. This process causes contraction of the entire region, leading to the tightening of the upper vagina including the support for the base of the bladder, from which the problems of overflow incontinence originate. As your body reacts to the laser treatment, new collagen production rejuvenates and reinvigorates the tissue surrounding the urinary tract.

The number of overflow incontinence treatments required varies from 1-3 sessions, about 10 minutes each.

The average cost of treatment ranges from $975 to $1,175 per treatment.

Overflow incontinence treatment requires no downtime.

Most patients experience initial symptom relief within the first week of treatment. The full course of the treatment is three sessions, a month apart. New collagen growth factors regenerate and energize the tissue that control’s the bladder’s ability to properly fill, empty and self-regulate. You can overcome your symptoms of overactive bladder with increased self-control and a better quality of life.

HOW DOES OVERFLOW INCONTINENCE TREATMENT FEEL?

vConfidence laser and RF treatments are pain-free. It does not require the use of surgery or needles. A small probe fires inside of the vagina at a very low energy level. Most patients describe the actual pulses as feeling like nothing more than a slight vibration.

OVERFLOW INCONTINENCE TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Before Treatment: A typical treatment averages 15 minutes of treatment time. Your provider will give you specifics pre-treatment instructions beforehand. The procedure uses a sterile “insertion ring”. The ring is a circular device which allows the insertion of the laser hand-piece without rubbing against the skin. Once inserted, the laser will be activated, moved, then activated again in a short procedure that allows the entire inside of the vagina to be treated.

After Treatment: Immediately following treatment, you will be able to return to your regular activities. Your doctor will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions, including when you can resume sexual activity. Most patients have no negative indications after treatment and experience immediate positive results.
