As a nurse specialist working the area of urinary incontinence and a board representative of The Urology Nurses Of Canada, I have seen many women of all ages suffer from the stigmatizing problem of urinary incontinence. There are many different approaches we can suggest for this problem including lifestyle changes, behavioral approaches, dietary modifications and pelvic floor exercises.
When a women suffers from stress incontinence (the type of leaking that occurs when you cough, sneeze , laugh or lift ), it is often beneficial for them to use a self-fitting pessary such as uresta®.
I have seen women change their whole lives around with these devices. Often women will stop activities they enjoy, like dancing, going to the gym, walking and running, as they try to control their bladder symptoms. When they use uresta®, they are able to return to these activities.
I have seen very young women use uresta® including a woman who was training for a marathon and only needed to use it during training, when she usually leaked. Other women use uresta® at the gym because they leak during exercise. I have seen women who have jobs that involve lifting and they can wear uresta® comfortably all day long.
It’s very user friendly, easy to self-fit and very comfortable. Some women actually forget to take it out at night as they forget they have it in!
uresta® has made a 100% difference to many women that are now able to have a “normal “ social life and return to all their activities without the stress and embarrassment of leaking!
