Why Do I Pee a Little When I Sneeze?

If you’ve ever experienced a small leak of urine when you sneeze, cough, or laugh, you’re not alone. This condition, known as stress urinary incontinence (SUI), is a common issue that affects millions of people, particularly women. While it can be embarrassing, it is not something you have to live with. At Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness, we offer advanced solutions to help restore pelvic floor strength and reduce bladder leaks.

What Causes Urinary Incontinence?

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles weaken, making it difficult to control the release of urine. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles lose strength—often due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, aging, or high-impact activities—any added pressure on the bladder, such as sneezing or laughing, can cause urine to leak.
 

Strengthening the Pelvic Floor with Advanced Technology

Traditional treatments for SUI include pelvic floor exercises like Kegels, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, surgery. However, not everyone finds success with exercises alone, and surgery is not always a preferred option. Fortunately, advancements in non-invasive technology now provide effective, comfortable solutions to help strengthen the pelvic floor and restore bladder control.
 

EmpowerRF: Comprehensive Pelvic Rejuvenation

EmpowerRF is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment designed to improve feminine wellness by strengthening and rejuvenating the pelvic floor. This advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology delivers controlled energy to stimulate collagen production and improve tissue health. It enhances muscle tone and circulation, helping to reduce urinary leakage and improve overall pelvic function.
 

VTone: Targeted Pelvic Floor Strengthening

VTone is a highly effective treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to re-educate and tone the pelvic floor muscles. This non-invasive approach provides deep, targeted contractions that go beyond what traditional exercises can achieve, strengthening the muscles responsible for bladder control. Over time, VTone helps restore confidence by reducing leaks and improving pelvic muscle function.
 

Take Control of Your Pelvic Floor Health

If you’re experiencing bladder leaks when sneezing or engaging in other daily activities, you don’t have to simply accept it as part of aging or childbirth recovery. With EmpowerRF and VTone, you can regain control, strengthen your pelvic floor, and improve your quality of life—without surgery or downtime.
