Unfortunately, the National Association for Continence reports that only one in four women seek help with the problem due to embarrassment and lack of knowledge on available treatments. NeoControl therapies are not recommended for all women. Only patients with stress or urge incontinence will benefit from the treatments. Stress incontinence occurs when people lose urine during a sudden increase in abdominal pressure, such as sneezing, laughing, coughing, or exercise. Urge incontinence is associated with an abrupt and strong desire to urinate.
NeoControl technology is too new to know for certain if it is a permanent cure for incontinence.
However, early long-term results from clinical trials have shown that a majority of patients are still satisfied with their results 18 months after the treatment. If you would like more information on the NeoControl Pelvic Floor Therapy or on incontinence in general, please call 282-3899.
