What is urinary incontinence?
You may already know the term, but what is urinary incontinence? It is the involuntary leakage of urine, ranging from mild, occasional leaks to uncontrollable urges and full bladder evacuations. Unfortunately, women with this condition often feel embarrassed, self-conscious, and isolated. They may avoid social situations or even exercise because of fear that their incontinence will be noticeable or worsen.
There are different kinds of incontinence, including stress incontinence (leaks associated with physical activity or coughing/sneezing) and urge incontinence (strong and sudden urges to urinate that are hard to control). Some women also experience a mix of both, known as mixed incontinence. Instead of letting urinary incontinence impact daily life, Dr. Tumbaga encourages women to seek professional help in Temecula, CA.
How does the O-Shot work?
PRP treatment is generally quick and straightforward. It involves drawing a small amount of blood and putting it in a centrifuge to separate the growth factors and platelets. These components are vital for healing and tissue regeneration. Dr. Tumbaga will then administer the O-Shot injection into specific areas of the vaginal tissue. This process may sound intimidating, but there is minimal discomfort, thanks to a numbing process and a tiny needle.
Benefits of the O-Shot
The O-Shot can benefit women in the following ways:
- Vaginal rejuvenation: As women age, the vaginal tissues may become thin, dry, and less elastic. The O-Shot addresses vaginal atrophy by improving blood flow to the area.
- Improved urinary function: The O-Shot can strengthen the tissues that support the bladder and urethra. This may reduce or remove stress and urge incontinence.
- Better sexual sensation and satisfaction: By stimulating new tissue growth, the O-Shot can enhance sexual sensation and pleasure. Women may also experience more intense, frequent orgasms.
- Nonsurgical and minimally invasive: Unlike surgical options, PRP treatment is simple and requires no downtime or recovery. Patients can return to work and other activities shortly after their appointment.
- Long-lasting results: Women can see significant improvements in their urinary function and sexual satisfaction after just one O-Shot injection. Results last between 1 – 2 years, making it a convenient and effective long-term solution.
