Urinary stress incontinence

After childbirth, many women experience involuntary urination when exercising, coughing, sneezing or laughing which is called urinary stress incontinence. Women who delivered their child naturally have a 50% greater chance of developing incontinence after childbirth than women who had a Caesarean delivery.

The weight of the expanding uterus and the process of giving birth naturally causes weakening of the pelvic floor muscles leading to urinary stress incontinence.

Vaginal Dryness / Tightness

Vaginal dryness can cause irritation, burning, and pain with intercourse which is common among women after menopause or in the years leading up to menopause. This is the due the decrease in estrogen hormone production as estrogen is responsible for maintaining the vaginal lubrication, elasticity, and thickness.

Low levels of estrogen cause thinning, drying, and inflammation of vaginal walls which is called vaginal atrophy. Furthermore, loss collagen and elastin through aging causes decrease in vaginal mucosal elasticity and loss of its optimum structural form leading to lower levels of sexual gratification.
