While urinary incontinence is most common in women over the age of 50, it can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of reasons.  While there are many treatment options available, many women opt to try a pelvic floor muscle exerciser to help tone their pelvic floor and reduce the symptoms of incontinence.

What Are The First Signs of Incontinence?

Whether you are in your teens or in your 50s, the first signs of incontinence are often the same.  You may notice leaking urine when coughing, laughing sneezing, or exercising.  Frequent urination or sudden urges to urinate can also be a sign that you have urinary incontinence.

Incontinence at Every Age

While triggers like pregnancy and childbirth and hormonal changes during menopause are often to blame for urinary leaks, even teens and young adults can experience incontinence.  In young women, this is most often caused by high impact sports and exercise.

For young women and teens looking for a treatment option, a pelvic floor muscle exerciser like Elitone that is used externally may be more comfortable than alternative internal devices.  Just 20 minutes a day with Elitone helps to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in as little as six weeks, helping to restore confidence and freedom.

If you are postpartum, it’s likely that you are familiar with occasional leaks.  After childbirth, using an internal pelvic floor muscle exerciser may not sound comfortable and may not be recommended by your doctor due to risk of infection.  Additionally, many internal pelvic floor devices cannot be used until you are six months postpartum.  Since Elitone is used externally, it’s safe to use much sooner.  With Elitone, comfortable gel pads are used externally to send small electrical currents to the muscles of your pelvic floor, toning them and helping to restore your pre-pregnancy bladder function.

As you enter your forties and fifties and are adjusting to perimenopause and menopausal changes, hormonal fluctuations can impact your bladder control.  Elitone is simple to use, no games or apps required.  You can carry about your busy life while using Elitone discreetly for a short session each day.
