Urinary Incontinence is leaking of urine that you can’t control. Many American men and women suffer from urinary incontinence. This condition can vary in severity, from occasional minor leaks when you cough or sneeze to having a sudden, intense urge to urinate that’s so strong you can’t get to a bathroom in time. There are three different types of urinary incontinence, stress, urge, and mixed. Stress incontinence is the most common type, and happens when urine leaks when the bladder is under pressure, such as when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or lift heavy objects. Urge incontinence is when urine leaks when you feel a sudden, intense urge to urinate, or shortly after. Neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, can cause urge incontinence, as can a stroke. Mixed incontinence is when you have both stress and urge incontinence. Some causes of urinary incontinence are pregnancy, hormonal changes, menopause, nerve damage, neurological disorders, urinary tract or vaginal infections, diabetes, etc.

Learn how VTone can help treat urinary incontinence.

VTone for Urinary Incontinence

VTone is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to treat urinary incontinence, specifically stress, urge, and mixed incontinence. An applicator is gently inserted into the vagina, which emits waves that stimulate and contract the muscles. This treatment strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, tightens the vagina, and reduces urinary incontinence. Procedure time varies, but generally treatments take 20-30 minutes from start to finish and most patients need two treatments a week for four weeks to achieve ideal results with annual maintenance sessions.

How does VTone work and help manage urinary incontinence?

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

• VTone delivers gentle electrical impulses to the muscles of the pelvic floor. These impulses stimulate muscle contractions, which help strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles over time. 

• Neuromuscular Re-education

• The electrical impulses also help re-educate the neuromuscular pathways, improving the coordination and control of the pelvic floor muscles and bladder function. 

Benefits for Urinary Incontinence

• Reduction in Stress Urinary Incontinence 

• Most individuals experience improved incontinence symptoms and attain dryness. VTone treatments can alleviate incontinence by 90% or greater.

• Strengthening Pelvic Floor Muscles

• Stronger pelvic floor muscles provide better support for the bladder and urethra, reducing the likelihood of urine leakage during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing or exercising.

• Improve Control of Urinary Functions

VTone has been approved by the FDA, making it both safe and effective at providing vaginal health solutions. It delivers safe, low-frequency electrical pulses which induce involuntary muscle contractions. Always follow the specific guidance of a healthcare provider tailored to individual needs.
