Whatever the cause, our professionals at The Secret Orchid offer a range of urinary incontinence treatments, including FemiLift, EMSELLA®, the O-Shot®, and EmFemme360™.

So, what is urinary incontinence, and how does EMSELLA work? Board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Carolyn DeLucia understands that you have questions and is ready to provide answers. Call now to book an appointment in Hillsborough Township, NJ, and get started today.

What is urinary incontinence?

You may have heard this term before, but what is urinary incontinence? Urinary incontinence, also called bladder leakage or loss of bladder control, is the unintentional leaking of urine. It ranges from mild to severe and often has a big impact on day-to-day life.

There are different types of urinary incontinence based on the underlying cause. Stress incontinence happens when there is too much pressure on the bladder, such as during physical exercise. Urinating when coughing, laughing, or sneezing is a common sign of stress incontinence. On the other hand, urge incontinence is characterized by a sudden need to urinate with little to no warning. No matter what type you may have, our team at The Secret Orchid is here to help in Hillsborough Township, NJ.

Urinary incontinence treatment options

Dr. DeLucia knows that every patient has unique needs, which is why we offer several treatments for urinary incontinence:

  • FemiLift: A nonsurgical laser treatment that strengthens and supports the muscles around the bladder. You may experience less urinating when coughing or sneezing.
  • EMSELLA: How does EMSELLA work? This virtually painless option sends electromagnetic energy to the pelvic floor muscles, stimulating them to strengthen and improve bladder control.
  • The O-Shot®: This natural treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to rejuvenate the vaginal area and address incontinence.
  • EmFemme360™: This radiofrequency-based treatment increases blood flow to the vagina and provides temporary relief from muscle spasms.

What to expect during urinary incontinence treatment

During a consultation, Dr. DeLucia will review your health history and discuss your symptoms to determine the way to move forward. We may perform a pelvic exam or order additional tests to assess the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. Once a treatment plan is established, you can book appointments for in-office treatments as needed. Our caring staff will guide you through each step of the process and provide support along the way.

What else can you do to manage urinary incontinence?

In addition to these treatments, lifestyle changes and at-home exercises can help improve bladder control. Some tips include avoiding certain foods and drinks (such as caffeine and alcohol), practicing pelvic floor muscle exercises (known as Kegel exercises), and maintaining a healthy weight. Our staff can provide more personalized recommendations during your appointment.
