Minimise leaks, sleep through the night and enjoy intimacy without worry
‘For a variety of reasons, as we grow older our bladders just don’t have the same control. To compensate we all – men and women – make three common mistakes,‘ explains Marisca Carruthers, owner of UROSPOT on the High Road. ‘However, the good news is, there are easy solutions to beat these bladder traps.
‘Mistake one: the “just-in-case” pee. You pop to the loo “just in case” even though there’s no need. In fact, repeatedly emptying the bladder trains the brain to signal that you need to go when the bladder isn’t full. Just ask: is this a “I should go”, a “I could go” or a “I must go”?
‘Mistake two: cutting back on fluids. You choose coffee over water or avoid fluids altogether, assuming less equals fewer accidents. In fact, the exact opposite is true. When fluids are limited urine becomes highly concentrated and acidic, so irritating the bladder lining and causing it to send “emergency” need-to-go signals. Keeping well-hydrated actually calms the bladder and minimises urgency.
‘Mistake three: ignoring your pelvic floor (men too!). The fitness of the pelvic floor muscles dictate quality of life. Constantly waking up to pee, leaking when sneezing or exercising and difficulties with sexual function stem from a weakened pelvic floor. You don’t have to live with these issues: keeping the muscles strong is the key to reclaiming your freedom.
‘Thankfully, the days of awkward medical appointments are long gone. UROSPOT has brought life-changing pelvic health innovation to Chiswick. Treatments are dignified, non-invasive and private: you simply sit on a futuristic armchair – the “Kegel Throne” – while remaining fully clothed.
‘Then, using electromagnetic energy, the chair stimulates and strengthens the pelvic floor by delivering the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel pelvic floor contractions in 28 minutes. There’s absolutely no pain. All our introductory consultations are complimentary: the team will explain more about the power of the pelvic floor and provide an opportunity to test the technology – because feeling really is believing!’
