Kegels aren't working. should i move on to vaginal weights to cure my incontinence?

Stress incontinence: Treatment of sui is only indicated when the patient feels something must be done. I find that kegel exercises only help the mildest of leakage. Many older women who don't want incisional surgery, opt for peri-urethral bulking agents. Most healthy women do best with mid-urethral sling surgery which is minimally invasive.

See a doc: So that your bladder problems can be properly evaluated and effective treatments recommended. There is no evidence that vaginal weights work better than kegels alone.

Evaluation: Depends on the cause of the incontinence. I would highly recommend that you get an evaluation by a urologist or urogynecologist to evaluate your pelvic floor and functioning. There are many treatment options depending on the cause of the incontinence www.voicesforpfd.org
