Various factors can cause urinary incontinence, including weakened pelvic floor muscles, childbirth, hormonal changes, neurological disorders, urinary tract infections, medications, and certain medical conditions such as obesity and diabetes.
Sneeze, Cough, and Laugh With Confidence
Urinary incontinence, or the involuntary release of urine, is a loss of bladder control. It’s commonly seen in older adults and women who have given birth or gone through menopause. Pressure on the bladder, such as during coughing, sneezing, or laughing, can cause it to occur.
The Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center offers a variety of women’s wellness solutions, including latest advancements in urinary incontinence treatment in Atlanta.
Common Symptoms of Urinary Incontinence
- Frequent urination
- Leaking
- Weak or slow urination
- Weak pelvic floor
Urinary Incontinence Treatments
Emsella
The Emsella chair “re-educates” patients’ pelvic floor muscles by using electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of muscle contractions in a single session.
Mini Sling
The mid-urethral mini sling procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only a single small incision in the vaginal wall to place the implant. The cure rates of the mini sling approach 90% after the first year.
Emfemme 360
Emfemme 360 addresses urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity, and sexual wellness by improving the strength and lubrication of the vaginal wall.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Fibroids may put pressure on the bladder, causing urinary incontinence problems for women. Removing these fibroids may require minimally invasive surgery.
What to Expect
Urinary Incontinence Treatment Process
Step 1
Before starting treatment, you’ll meet with one of our providers for a consultation.
This conversation may include a physical examination, urine tests, and possibly imaging studies to assess the condition of your bladder and urethra.
Step 2
One of our associates will also discuss possible treatments, their risks and benefits, and any pre-care instructions with you.
We’ll tailor your urinary incontinence treatment to your needs.
Step 3
Once the sling is in place, your surgeon will adjust the tension of the sling to provide the optimal amount of support to the urethra without causing over-tightening or obstruction of urine flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Contact us.
Yes, pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, can help strengthen the muscles that control urination and improve bladder control. These exercises involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and other pelvic organs. Our Emsella chair can achieve an amazing amount of kegel contractions in a short period of time.
Lifestyle changes that may help manage urinary incontinence include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding bladder irritants (such as caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods), drinking an adequate amount of fluids, managing constipation, and quitting smoking.
Yes, there are medications available that can help treat urinary incontinence by relaxing bladder muscles, reducing bladder spasms, or increasing bladder capacity. However, medications may not be suitable for everyone, so it’s essential to discuss the risks and benefits with our associates.
