What exactly is urge incontinence?
It’s that sudden, intense need to urinate that doesn’t give you much warning. Even if your bladder isn’t full, your body feels like it is — and your muscles don’t always cooperate. It’s different to stress incontinence (which is more about leaks when you laugh or move), but the two can overlap.
Lots of things can trigger urge incontinence — from menopause and ageing to nerve issues, pelvic floor weakness, or even certain medications. Whatever the cause, we take the time to figure it out and offer treatment that suits your body, not just the textbook.
One therapy that’s changing things
One option we offer at Estrada Clinic is the BTL Emsella chair. It’s a completely non-invasive treatment that helps rebuild strength in the pelvic floor — which plays a key role in bladder control. The treatment’s as simple as sitting down.
You stay fully dressed, relax in the chair, and it uses focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate the muscles in your pelvic area. A single session delivers thousands of muscle contractions — way more than you could do on your own, and without any effort. It’s ideal for people who’ve tried exercises and not seen much improvement, or those who’d prefer to avoid surgery or medication.
