Perifit Medical Effectiveness

 

 

The pelvic floor muscles naturally contract to close the urethra and rectum, and they voluntarily relax during urination and bowel movements.

However, when these muscles weaken, they can no longer maintain a tight seal around the urethra and rectum, resulting in uncontrollable leakage or urgency for both urine and stool.

There are different types of incontinence:

Stress Incontinence - This type involves the involuntary leakage of urine when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or engaging in activities like running or jumping.

Urge Incontinence - It's characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate, often requiring an immediate search for a restroom.

Mixed Incontinence -  This condition combines urine leaks that can occur both with physical activity and the urgency to urinate.
