Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor treatment in Jeddah
Urinary incontinence and a weak pelvic floor are common after childbirth, with age or after menopause. Aya’s physiotherapy department offers treatment without surgery, including the Tesla chair. The plan is set after assessment.
What it is
Leaking urine without meaning to, for example when coughing, laughing or exercising, or with a sudden urge to pass urine. It is often due to weakened pelvic-floor muscles.
Who it may suit
Women who leak urine or feel heaviness in the pelvis. Before starting, the doctor assesses your condition to confirm the cause and that treatment is suitable.
How treatment works
- Assessment and a treatment plan
- Sessions on the Tesla chair, which stimulates the pelvic-floor muscles and boosts blood flow
- Strengthening exercises guided by a physiotherapist
- Advice on daily habits and the bladder
What to expect
You sit on the chair fully clothed. You feel a light tingling and contractions of the pelvic-floor muscles, and the session is not painful. Control returns gradually. The number of sessions varies and is set by your doctor and physiotherapist.
