How Bladder Botox can help with incontinence

If bladder control is an ongoing concern, bladder Botox is a treatment option that some people find helpful. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to reduce leakage and urgency, offering an alternative for those who haven’t responded well to other therapies. The approach and suitability depend on individual health needs, so a discussion with a qualified healthcare provider is essential.

Bladder Botox is administered via a small procedure under guidance of a clinician.

It can help reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage for many people with overactive bladder or certain types of incontinence. Benefits typically last several months and can be repeated if needed, with attention to safety and potential side effects discussed in advance. It’s one part of a broader management plan that may include lifestyle changes, medications, and pelvic floor exercises.

Understanding Urodynamics: Why Urinary Incontinence Occurs

If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on when urinary incontinence happens, a urodynamics test can help explain it. Urodynamics assesses how the bladder and urethra store and release urine, providing a clearer picture of what’s causing symptoms like leakage, urgency or frequent toilet trips.

In simple terms your urologist may measure how well your bladder fills, how strong your urine flow is, and how the bladder and urethra work together. The results help tailor treatment, from lifestyle changes and pelvic floor exercises to medications or procedures.

Identifying the underlying cause can lead to more effective, targeted management thus reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

The O-Shot: A treatment for low libido

Low libido can affect anyone and may stem from a range of factors, including hormonal changes, stress, medications, or physical changes after childbirth. The O-Shot (Or**sm Shot) is a procedure that some people explore to potentially improve sexual function and arousal. It involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood into specific vaginal tissues, with the aim of promoting tissue repair and enhanced sensation.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of the O-shot can vary from person to person - some people report improvements, while others see minimal or no change. Like any medical procedure, it carries risks such as pain at the injection site, infection, or temporary discomfort. It’s essential to discuss candidacy, expectations and potential side effects with a qualified clinician who can assess your individual situation.

Tips for Fitting Pelvic Health into Your New Year’s Fitness Regime

Starting a new year with a fitness plan is exciting, and prioritising pelvic health helps you train smarter and avoid injuries. Include core-friendly movements that protect the pelvic floor and keep workouts balanced across strength, cardio, and flexibility. When lifting or doing high-impact work, always engage the pelvic floor and core.

Remember that hydration and balanced nutrition support tissue health and regular bowel function, both key for pelvic stability. Don’t skip rest days, as recovery is essential for rebuilding pelvic support muscles and preventing overuse injuries. If you notice new urinary leakage, pelvic pressure or heaviness during exercise, get a quick assessment with a pelvic floor physical therapist to personalise your plan.

You can also incorporate gentle rehab exercises like diaphragmatic breathing and safe, low-impact core work to reinforce support without overloading the pelvic floor. Build a progressive plan that gradually increases workload while monitoring response and be sure to prioritise posture during workouts and daily activities. The Perifit Care + device, is also recommended as an additional support to your pelvic floor wellness regime: https://lancashiregynaecologist.co.uk/product/perifit-care/

Finally, choose footwear and surfaces that reduce pelvic impact, and tailor cardio to your comfort level to avoid excessive bouncing or strain. If you’re returning after pregnancy or pelvic health treatment, consult your clinician before starting a new programme to ensure it fits your recovery and goals.

How to Tell the Difference: Prolapse vs. Incontinence

Prolapse happens when pelvic organs drop toward the vaginal canal, often causing a feeling of fullness or a bulge, made worse with standing and improved by lying down. Incontinence is involuntary leakage of urine or stool, with urinary leakage sometimes triggered by coughing or activity (stress incontinence) or a sudden urge (urge incontinence). Distinguishing features include a vaginal bulge with standing for prolapse, versus leakage with effort or urgency for incontinence.

A clinician differentiates through history, a pelvic exam, and sometimes tests like urodynamics or imaging to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment. If you notice a vaginal bulge, leakage with activity, or unexpected urinary changes, seek a professional evaluation for a personalised plan.

If you are concerned, why not book a confidential visit to discuss diagnosis and options today: https://lancashiregynaecologist.co.uk/contacts/

How to protect your pelvic health before problems develop

There are many ways to protect your pelvic health before problems develop. Simple lifestyle habits can make a big difference: maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and managing constipation with fibre and keeping hydrated can all help support pelvic floor function. Limiting caffeine and alcohol can reduce urgency and bladder irritability, while quitting smoking decreases coughing and pelvic floor strain.

We also recommend regular screening to catch issues before they impact daily life. If you notice new or persistent symptoms such unexplained pelvic pressure, urinary leakage with sneezing or coughing, sudden urinary urgency, or pelvic pain, an early evaluation can support better outcomes and more options.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is also a great preventative option. Use of treatments such as the Emsella chair can help support pelvic health. You can learn more about it here: https://lancashiregynaecologist.co.uk/articles/emsella-chair/

L***a Fillers for Enhancement

Are you curious about l***a fillers as a non-surgical option for vaginal aesthetics and comfort?

L***a fillers use dermal filler substances, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, to add volume, improve symmetry and address wrinkles or folds.

The procedure is performed by a gynaecologist and it’s important to have a thorough consultation first to discuss goals, potential risks and realistic expectations.

It’s also worth noting that results are not permanent and may require maintenance sessions over time.

Most patients experience minimal recovery downtime, with some swelling or bruising that fade in days.

If you’re considering this option, it’s important to seek guidance from a specialised gynaecology clinic to discuss whether l***a fillers align with your goals and to understand the procedure, risks and aftercare.

Our team at Lancashire Gynaecologist is here to help with individualised consultations and safe, supportive care. To learn more or book a consultation please
