Prevent or Alleviate Urinary Incontinence by Doing This

Bladder control is something most of us take for granted until it becomes an issue that needs to be medically addressed. Urinary stress incontinence is sometimes linked to aging, and a new study suggests that carrying excess weight may also make the symptoms worse. Treatment of this embarrassing condition can take many forms, including an innovative approach called the O-shot.

When it comes to the weight connection, the study looked at 1,500 participants over the age of 70 and followed their progress for several years. The study concluded that lowering BMI (body mass index) offered significantly lowered risk for new or worsening symptoms.

Regardless of your age or weight, there are excellent treatment options available. In Los Angeles, OB/GYN Dr. David Ghozland offers minimally invasive treatments like the O-shot to improve or eliminate the symptoms of urinary stress incontinence. Dr. Ghozland uses the O-shot in conjunction with other tightening procedures to help tone and strengthen specific areas within the vaginal walls and provide improved support for the bladder. Women who have undergone this technique, report exceptional results and improved quality of life.

Other benefits include:

• No downtime
• Zero need for pain killers
• Anesthesia-free procedure
• Very safe and risk free
• Exceptional results

If you struggle with symptoms of urinary stress incontinence, you may be afraid to discuss it with your doctor. In reality, you are far from alone since this common concern impacts nearly 20 million women in America. Take heart and know that help is available.  Consult with a qualified physician about all of your options, including a weight loss regimen or the non-surgical O-shot treatment.
