The Impact of Incontinence on Exercise

The Impact of Incontinence on Exercise

Here are some factors contributing to why women with SUI may quit exercise:

Stigma and Embarrassment: SUI can be a socially stigmatizing condition, leading to feelings of shame and embarrassment when leakage occurs during physical activity. Women may fear judgment or feel self-conscious about their condition, causing them to withdraw from exercise settings

Physical Discomfort: Leakage during exercise can cause physical discomfort, such as skin irritation or urinary tract infections. This discomfort can discourage women from participating in activities they previously enjoyed, ultimately leading to exercise avoidance3.

Negative Impact on Confidence: SUI can undermine a woman's self-confidence and body image. The fear of leakage may create anxiety, eroding her belief in her physical abilities and making her reluctant to engage in activities that could trigger incontinence 

Empowering Women with INNOVO

INNOVO offers a revolutionary non-invasive solution for women with SUI, providing an effective and convenient way to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

Here's how INNOVO can help:

 Targeted Muscle Stimulation: INNOVO uses clinically proven technology to deliver targeted muscle stimulation through comfortable, wearable shorts. This stimulation helps activate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles responsible for controlling urinary function.

 Privacy and Convenience: INNOVO can be used in the comfort and privacy of your own home, eliminating the need for frequent visits to the healthcare provider or embarrassment in public settings. It offers a discreet and convenient way to address SUI and regain control of your physical activity level.

 Restoring Confidence: By improving pelvic floor strength, INNOVO helps restore women's confidence in their physical abilities. With reduced instances of leakage, women can have greater peace of mind while exercising, allowing them to fully embrace an active lifestyle.

 

It is disheartening to see that 20% of women with SUI quit exercise due to the challenges they face. However, it is important to understand that with the right support and innovative solutions like INNOVO, women can regain control of their lives and confidently engage in physical activity without the fear of leakage or discomfort. By raising awareness and providing accessible resources, we can empower women with SUI to stay active, prioritize their well-being, and enjoy the numerous benefits that come with regular exercise.

If you or someone you know is struggling with SUI and exercise, consider exploring the benefits of INNOVO. Together, we can break down the barriers that prevent women from leading active and fulfilling lives.

 Stay strong and keep moving,
