Understanding Incontinence During Menopause: Exploring Solutions with TensCare

Menopause brings about significant hormonal changes that can affect many aspects of a woman's health, including bladder control. Incontinence—the involuntary leakage of urine—becomes more common during this stage, impacting both physical and emotional well-being. The decline in estrogen levels and weakening of pelvic floor muscles during menopause are key factors contributing to this issue.

Incontinence during menopause doesn’t just affect physical health; it also takes a toll on emotional well-being. Women may experience feelings of embarrassment, shame, and frustration over their inability to control leakage. Fear of accidents can lead to social isolation and avoidance of activities they once enjoyed.

Incontinence can also affect intimate relationships, as women may feel self-conscious or anxious during sexual activity. Without intervention, these emotional burdens can decrease overall quality of life and contribute to feelings of loss of independence.

While menopause brings many changes, bladder leakage and discomfort don’t have to be part of the experience. Strengthening the pelvic muscles helps improve bladder control, prevent leaks, and reduce the risk of prolapse.  By incorporating pelvic floor exercises or also known as Kegel Exercises, into your routine, you can improve your physical and emotional well-being. Identifying and engaging the right muscles is the first step. Just like other muscles in the body, the pelvic floor can only improve with consistent and proper exercise. However, many women struggle with these exercises because they may not be sure they’re engaging the correct muscles.

The good news is that electrical pelvic floor muscle stimulation can help ensure the right technique. TensCare offers a range of pelvic floor muscle exercisers that use clinically proven parameters, are safe, reliable and easy to use. These devices guide users to correctly activate pelvic muscles, improving effectiveness and long-term results. Electrical muscle stimulators also help women and men become familiar with the sensation of properly engaging their pelvic floor.
