Did You Know? Urinary Incontinence and Leakage Can Be Treated Without Surgery
Urinary incontinence and leakage are significant concerns for many women. Lifting heavy objects or even laughing out loud can be challenging, making daily life difficult due to anxiety and fear of embarrassment. However, you may not know that today, urinary incontinence and leakage can be treated easily without the need for downtime or surgery.
First, let’s understand the root cause of urinary leakage. What is the actual cause?
Causes of Urinary Leakage
There are various factors that can cause urinary incontinence. These may stem from underlying health issues, medical conditions, or even daily lifestyle habits that contribute to the symptoms.
Causes and Risk Factors of Urinary Incontinence
- Weakened pelvic floor muscles due to aging
- Pelvic floor muscle tears caused by pregnancy
- Decreased estrogen levels due to menopause.
- Excess body weight causing pressure on the bladder.
- Certain chronic conditions, such as diabetes and stroke.
- Constipation, which causes the intestines to expand and press against the bladder.
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can be categorized into 7 types:
1. Urinary Incontinence While Coughing or Sneezing
Urinary incontinence while coughing or sneezing, or Stress Urinary Incontinence, is a condition caused by the abnormal or inefficient functioning of the pelvic floor muscles due to damage or laxity in that area.
In addition to the pelvic floor muscles not functioning optimally, intra-abdominal pressure also contributes to urinary incontinence during coughing or sneezing.
2. Urinary Incontinence When Changing Positions
Urinary incontinence when changing positions, or Postural Incontinence, is similar to incontinence during coughing or sneezing. However, the additional symptom is that when changing positions, the intra-abdominal pressure changes suddenly. This causes an increase in pressure within the bladder, leading to urinary leakage.
3. Urinary Incontinence During Sexual Intercourse
Urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse, or Coital / Giggle Incontinence, is a condition characterized by the inability to control urination, resulting in rapid leakage upon stimulation. This condition often occurs alongside stress incontinence (leakage during coughing or sneezing). It is primarily caused by an overactive bladder, which may potentially affect intimate relationships in the future.
4. Insensible Urinary Incontinence
Unaware urinary leakage, or Insensible Incontinence, is a condition characterized by the inability to hold urine. It is caused by physical abnormalities, such as urine flowing into the vagina after urination is complete, leading to leakage. It can also occur in individuals whose internal and external urinary sphincters function abnormally and lack coordination.
5. Continuous Urinary Incontinence
Continuous urinary incontinence can be divided into 2 groups:
1. Cases with a leak in the ureter or bladder – This is mostly caused by complications from pelvic surgery, radiation therapy, or advanced cancer.
2. Cases with lower urinary tract dysfunction where the urethra does not close completely – Caused by an unresponsive or non-contracting bladder. When bladder pressure becomes too high, it can lead to urinary leakage.
6. Bedwetting
Bedwetting, or Enuresis / Nocturnal Enuresis, is an inability to control urination while sleeping. The primary cause of this condition is the abnormal relaxation of the urethral sphincter muscle due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
7. Involuntary Urination
Urge Urinary Incontinence is a condition caused by abnormal pressure within the bladder that is higher than normal and increases rapidly, disproportionate to the pressure within the urethra, making it impossible to hold urine.

How does THERMIva treat urinary incontinence?
The THERMIva urinary incontinence laser uses radiofrequency (RF) to stimulate the function and production of collagen and elastin in the vaginal tissue layers or pelvic floor. This promotes rejuvenation, helps strengthen the muscles, and also improves blood circulation in the pelvic area.
