Women Don't Need to Suffer in Silence - FDA Approves Treatment for Stress Incontinence

Incontinence is not an inevitable part of aging. The FDA agrees that there is a solution with their recent approval of the Kegel Exerciser as a medical treatment for stress urinary incontinence. The Kegel Exerciser is a non-invasive alternative to drugs, surgery, and pads.

The idea began years ago, in the 1940's when a doctor named Kegel helped women strengthen their PC muscles. He studied these women and proved that they could regain PC muscle strength after childbirth - treating incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

But many women today don't do them. Why not? Because they don't know where the muscles are or how to work them -- and Dr. Kegel isn't there to help them.

The Kegel Exerciser does just that. It helps women locate the correct muscles. The exerciser also provides resistance training, the fastest and most effective way to tone any muscle.

The Kegel Exerciser helps women follow Dr. Kegel's advice or the recommendation of The American Medical Association.

"Behavioral treatment is a safe and effective conservative intervention that should be made more readily available to patients as a first-line treatment for urge and mixed incontinence."

In addition to preventing incontinence, the Kegel Exerciser also:

 Prevents prolapse
 Helps relax muscles during birth
 Promotes perineal healing after birth
 Restores muscle tone after birth
 Treats sexual dysfunction

"I teach women worldwide, of all ages, how to do the Kegel exercises. They are so important to prevent and/or treat stress incontinence and to promote sexual fitness. This is one gift a women can give to herself to enhance her health and her sexual health." -- Dr. Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, FAAN, and coauthor of internationally acclaimed book, "The G Spot".

"I'm in my late sixties and a mother of four children and for the past 10 years I've had progressively increasing incontinence. It got to the point where I couldn't leave the house without wearing a pad, especially when I went out to play with my grandchildren. My daughter recommended that I try the Kegel Exerciser and after about four weeks of using it, I stopped having accidents as often. I use it twice a day for 5 or 10 minutes about five times a week and now I can play outdoors and enjoy a lifestyle I was accustomed to. I can say the Kegel Exerciser has really been a miracle device for me." -- Christina, customer.

"Like self breast exams, we are trying to help women take a proactive role with their health. Too many women with incontinence are resorting to treatments that are unnecessary and not as effective." -- Kelly Scheufler, rep for the manufacturer.
