Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Bangalore
Urinary incontinence, or involuntary bladder leakage, is far more common than most women admit, and it is treatable. Pregnancy, childbirth, ageing and menopause can all weaken the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder. At Aikya Fertility, Dr. Dhathri Suresh offers a private, doctor-guided approach, from an accurate diagnosis and pelvic floor care to non-surgical HIFEM Chair Treatment, so you can get back to laughing, exercising and travelling without worry.
About This Treatment
What you need to know
What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. Many women quietly manage it for years without discussing it, assuming it is a normal part of having children or growing older. It is not something you have to accept. The right treatment depends on the type of incontinence you have, which is why an accurate assessment is the first step.
Common Types of Urinary Incontinence
- Stress Urinary Incontinence: leakage when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift or exercise, usually because the pelvic floor muscles or supporting tissues have weakened.
- Urge Incontinence: a sudden, strong need to pass urine followed by leakage before you reach the toilet, often linked to an overactive bladder.
- Mixed Incontinence: a combination of stress and urge symptoms.
- Overflow Leakage: frequent dribbling when the bladder does not empty completely.
What Causes Bladder Leakage in Women?
Pregnancy and vaginal delivery can stretch and weaken the pelvic floor, and many mothers look for postpartum pelvic floor recovery support, and expectant mothers can prepare through our Labour and Birth Education sessions. Hormonal changes around menopause, ageing, heavy lifting, chronic constipation, long-standing cough and being overweight can all add to the problem. Reduced pelvic muscle tone may also be felt as vaginal laxity, which some women discuss under Cosmetic Gynecology in Bangalore.
The Aikya Urinary Incontinence Care Pathway
- Private Consultation: a confidential discussion of your symptoms, delivery history and daily impact with a gynaecologist.
- Examination & Tests: a pelvic examination and basic tests, such as a urine test and scan where needed, to identify the type and cause of leakage. Related concerns, such as chronic pelvic pain, can be looked at in the same consultation.
- Lifestyle & Pelvic Floor Plan: guided pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, bladder training and habit changes, supported by our Srishti Program.
- Non-Surgical Treatment: HIFEM Chair Treatment to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions while you stay seated and fully clothed.
- Review & Next Steps: follow-up to track progress, and a discussion of other options if your symptoms need more. If a prolapse is found, treatments such as Laparoscopic Vault Suspension can be discussed.
HIFEM Chair vs Kegel Exercises vs Surgery
Kegel exercises cost nothing, but many women find it hard to contract the right muscles consistently. HIFEM technology triggers the contractions for you, without needles, anaesthesia or a traditional recovery period, and is commonly considered for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence. Surgery is generally reserved for severe cases as advised by your doctor. Many women combine HIFEM with guided exercises for longer-lasting support.

Important Considerations
What to discuss with your doctor
Please consult our specialists to understand how these considerations apply to your individual case.
- Diagnosis First: Leakage can have different causes, including infection or other conditions, so treatment should follow an assessment.
- Results Vary: Response depends on age, the starting strength of the pelvic floor and lifestyle, and maintenance exercises help sustain the benefit.
- HIFEM Suitability: It may not be suitable if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other electronic implant, metal implants near the treatment area, or an active pelvic infection.
- Mild Side Effects: Some women notice temporary muscle fatigue or soreness in the pelvic or thigh area after a session.
- Severe Cases: Where symptoms are more severe, or a prolapse is present, your doctor may discuss surgical options such as Laparoscopic Vault Suspension.
