Our Approach to Pelvic Floor Therapy

We begin with a focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. You will undergo a series of in-office treatments where you will be shown how to do internal and external exercises to contract your pelvic floor muscles and control them. This will take place over the course of six weeks, and intermittently after that. Exercises will include Kegels and even electrical stimulation for the pelvic floor.

Other Pelvic Floor Therapy Options

Modern Women’s Health is uniquely positioned to provide options other than surgery and/or medication for urinary incontinence and prolapse. Many of these options can also be used after a surgical procedure to maintain results and help improve the pelvic floor.

BTL Emsella

For women suffering from a weak pelvic floor, BTL Emsella® is an excellent option. Treatment involves sitting on an electromagnetic chair (clothed) for 30 minutes per session — and that’s it!

The BTL Emsella chair’s electromagnetic waves create very strong contractions (essentially over 12,000 Kegel exercises) each session. This significantly strengthens the pelvic floor.

FormaV

Votiva FormaV™ treats both internal and external vaginal issues, including a weak pelvic floor. The procedure utilizes thermal energy to tighten, strengthen, and re-shape interior vaginal tissue, which supports the pelvic floor muscles. The Votiva FormaV device is inserted into the vagina, where it emits radiofrequency energy pulses during a warm, comfortable treatment for about ten minutes.

V-Tone

V-Tone is a non-surgical procedure designed to strengthen the pelvic floor. This remarkable treatment can improve vaginal muscle laxity, stress urinary incontinence, vaginal tone, and urinary urgency/frequency. It can also be used for simple vaginal maintenance. The procedure works by using electro-stimulation to create muscle contractions that aren’t possible to achieve with Kegel exercises, significantly improving a weakened or overstretched pelvic floor.

Morpheus8 V

Morpheus8® V combines two powerful treatments — radiofrequency and microneedling — to rejuvenate the vagina and promote overall vaginal wellness. This advanced procedure addresses such issues as laxity, dryness, reduced sensation and orgasm, urinary incontinence and frequency, lichen sclerosus, vulvar psoriasis, and vulvar vestibulitis. Many of these conditions are the result of pregnancy, childbirth, and age. The radiofrequency works to trigger new collagen growth using heat energy, which firms the vaginal skin.

The O-Shot

The platelet-rich plasma that the O-Shot® utilizes has the ability to strengthen the pelvic floor, which can significantly improve issues with urinary incontinence.

Pelvic Floor Prolapse

About one-half of women who give birth develop some level of pelvic floor prolapse. However, it can also develop in women who have never had children.

Pelvic floor prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs drop down, and it is caused by a weakening of the muscles and tissues that support the organs of the pelvis (the vagina, uterus, and bladder). Prolapse happens when these tissues and muscles simply can’t support the organs any longer. The muscles may become torn or stretched. The main cause of this condition is pregnancy and vaginal childbirth, but it can also happen due to menopause, aging, and repeated heavy lifting, as well as conditions that cause pressure on the abdomen (being overweight or obese, constipation, chronic coughing, and other medical conditions).

Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Prolapse

Symptoms of pelvic floor prolapse may come on gradually and may not be noticed at first. Women with symptoms may include the following:

A feeling of pelvic pressure or “fullness”
A visible bulge in the vagina
Organs bulging out of the vagina
Lower back pain
Urinary leakage
Problems completely emptying the bladder
Problems having a bowel movement
Problems with inserting tampons or applicators

Diagnosis and Treatment

We diagnose pelvic floor prolapse with a physical exam and by assessing the symptoms. Once your provider has determined the degree of your prolapse symptoms, she will formulate the ideal treatment plan for your needs. Other factors that will be considered are your age, desire for future children, sexual activity, the severity of symptoms, and other health problems.

Treatment may involve pelvic floor therapy/exercises, pessaries, or vaginal rejuvenation techniques such as BTL Emsella®, the O-Shot®, or Votiva. If these treatments do not work or if your pelvic floor prolapse is more severe, surgery will likely be recommended. Surgery can either repair the pelvic floor or can shorten, narrow, or close off the vagina.
