How can incontinence be treated?

Incontinence does not have to be accepted as an unchangeable fate.

Even though many people feel uncomfortable discussing the issue with a doctor, it is important to overcome this hesitation. With targeted measures, the situation can often be significantly improved. A first step in managing incontinence may be pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Patients learn how to reduce strain on their pelvic floor in everyday life, for example by lifting and carrying correctly. At the same time, the pelvic floor muscles are strengthened, relaxed and made more perceptible through specific exercises. In addition, the PelvicTool pelvic floor trainer by Alonea offers an effective and easy-to-use way to train the muscles in a targeted manner.

As the device is non-invasive, it is suitable for both men and women. With biofeedback, the PelvicTool supports precise contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. It is frequently integrated by physiotherapists into pelvic floor therapy to improve awareness and enhance muscle control. Its simple use in everyday life makes it a valuable complement to therapeutic measures.

For an individually tailored treatment, it is advisable to consult a professional such as a doctor, physiotherapist or urologist.
