With over 5 million women in UK and 13 million in USA the estimate for Ireland is over 0.8 million women suffering from Female Urinary incontinence. And yet according to a Research & Markets report up to 80% never discuss their problem with their doctor.
The nature of the condition lends itself to embarrassment which understandably makes it difficult for women to discuss their experiences. As a consultant urological surgeon at Bristol Urological Institute, Marcus Drake regularly sees women who burst into tears in his clinic in despair.
‘If it was cancer, say, there would be a huge amount of sympathy for these women. But incontinence is a huge problem which is massively underestimated and yet very prevalent. The trouble is, women daren’t talk about it even with their closest friends - they’re ashamed of it.’
A daughter writes ‘… my mum has been really down and its one of those conditions that people are really unaware of and only the sufferers seem to suffer in silence. IncoStress has been marvelous it has totally changed my mum’s life.’
She continues ‘Incostress has made it possible for her to be able to go swimming and even lie on the beach in a costume something that she has not been able to do in many years.’
The award winning IncoStress has been designed for women by women to control urinary incontinence whilst building the pelvic floor muscles and therefore leading to a more permanent and safe solution. IncoStress won a Best Consumer Medical Device gold medal at the British Inventors Show 2007.
IncoStress is neat, discreet, and easy to use. It is also re-usable and is made 100% from silicone making it very safe to use. IncoStress is a Class IIa Medical Device CE0120 certified, which provides an immediate solution to the problem whilst over time strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.
Results from UK hospitals have shown that over 90% of women report an improvement in the first week of use. In addition, after 4 weeks over 80% had come off the surgical waiting list. The potential of IncoStress in preventing women from having to undergo surgery and its associated risks is enormous. The impact of this saving on Ireland’s health system is significant
