Urinary incontinence is much more common than is generally believed, yet it is still a subject that few tend to discuss. It is a medical problem that affects the quality of life of 25–45% of women, and data show that by the age of 65, every second woman suffers from it. Among men, urinary incontinence is also common, but at a lower frequency, and can sometimes be caused by prostate problems or surgeries.
While the problem is common and has a long list of causes — whether issues in the pelvic floor, the effects of menopause, gynecological surgeries, or diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson’s — many of those suffering from the phenomenon avoid talking about it or seeking medical treatment. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that urinary incontinence is not an unavoidable fate, and there are ways to improve quality of life.
Medical technology leading to change – FemiLift
The innovative development from Alma Israel provides a groundbreaking solution in the field of urinary incontinence. FemiLift is a non-surgical medical device based on laser technology that enables effective and rapid treatment of the problem. The device treats the pelvic floor muscles and vagina through gentle cauterization of the tissue, which leads to increased support for the bladder and improved control over urination.
Dr. Avi Abargel, a gynecology specialist, explains: “The treatment with FemiLift lasts about 8 minutes, and results can be seen as early as after the first treatment. The laser heats the tissue and creates a process in which the vaginal ceiling thickens and restores the basic support to the bladder, which reduces stress urinary incontinence.”
