Understanding Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence means involuntary leakage of urine. It is common and can happen at different stages of life, including after pregnancy and childbirth, with ageing, or alongside changes in pelvic floor strength. Bladder leakage can range from an occasional leak when coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising, to a sudden urge to urinate that can be difficult to control.

Understanding what may be happening is an important first step towards finding the right support.

Types of Urinary Incontinence

Understanding the different ways pelvic health issues manifest is the first step toward reclaiming comfort and confidence.

Stress Incontinence

Leakage that occurs when activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running or exercising put pressure on the bladder.

Urge Incontinence

A sudden, strong urge to urinate that may be followed by involuntary leakage.

Mixed Incontinence

A combination of stress and urge incontinence. Often requires a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

Overflow Incontinence

Leakage associated with the bladder not emptying completely, which can lead to constant dribbling.

Your Pelvic Floor Matters

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports important functions within the body, including bladder control. Changes in pelvic floor strength can happen at different stages of life. Pregnancy, childbirth, ageing and hormonal changes are among the factors that may affect pelvic floor wellness.

Where Does the Kegel Chair Fit In?

The pelvic floor plays an important role in supporting bladder control. The Kegel Chair uses electromagnetic stimulation to activate and exercise the pelvic floor muscles while you remain comfortably seated and fully clothed. It can form part of a pelvic floor wellness routine and may be used alongside pelvic floor exercises.
