Laser vs Traditional Methods: Choosing the Best Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Malaysia
Are you experiencing urine leaks when laughing, sneezing, or exercising? You might be dealing with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) — a condition that affects many women, especially after childbirth or menopause.
If you’re exploring options for stress urinary incontinence treatment in Malaysia, it’s important to understand the difference between conventional methods like surgery and medication, and the modern, non-surgical laser-based solution available at Da Vinci Clinic.
What is Stress Urinary Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine caused by physical stress or pressure on the bladder — such as when you cough, lift something heavy, or jump. It’s commonly the result of weakened pelvic floor muscles due to childbirth, hormonal changes, or aging.
Traditional Treatment Options for SUI
Historically, SUI has been treated with:
1. Surgery (e.g., Sling Procedures)
- Involves supporting the urethra with a mesh or tissue sling.
- Requires anesthesia, hospital stay, and weeks of downtime.
- Risks include infection, discomfort, and mesh complications.
2. Medication
- Limited medications are available, often with side effects like dry mouth or blood pressure issues.
- Typically manages symptoms, not the underlying cause.
3. Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels)
- Effective with long-term dedication and proper technique.
- Results are gradual and vary between individuals.
While these methods can work, they often involve significant effort, side effects, or downtime — making them less appealing for busy women seeking quick, comfortable relief.
Da Vinci Clinic’s Modern Approach: Laser & EMS Technology
At Da Vinci Clinic, we offer non-surgical, clinically proven treatments for stress urinary incontinence using two breakthrough technologies:
1. Fotona IncontiLase® Laser Therapy
This non-invasive Er:YAG laser treatment gently heats the vaginal walls to stimulate collagen remodeling, strengthen the vaginal canal, and enhance support around the bladder and urethra.
Key Benefits:
- Non-surgical & painless
- No anesthesia or incisions
- Quick 20-30 minute sessions
- Minimal to zero downtime
- Long-lasting tissue tightening and support
IncontiLase® works by restoring the natural structure and elasticity of vaginal tissue, which significantly reduces urine leakage.
2. Fotona StarFormer® IntimaWave™ Muscle Stimulation
This high-intensity, focused electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) technology strengthens pelvic floor muscles without the need for physical effort or internal probes.
How it Works:
Patients sit comfortably on a specially designed chair while electromagnetic pulses stimulate thousands of supramaximal contractions in the pelvic floor muscles — far beyond what’s possible through Kegel exercises alone.
Key Benefits:
- Non-invasive and pain-free
- No undressing or internal contact
- Strengthens pelvic floor and improves continence
- Each session lasts ~20–30 minutes
- Noticeable results after several sessions
StarFormer® IntimaWave™ is especially ideal for women who struggle with performing pelvic floor exercises or need faster muscle recovery and strengthening.
