Weak bladder treatment: Woman CURED of 'sexual dysfunction' with laser
SUFFERING from a weak bladder - sometimes known as female sexual dysfunction - plagued a full-time mum from London. Caroline's other symptoms included a discharge problem, and she decided the condition was becoming such an issue she tried laser treatment as a cure. She told her story to Express.co.uk.

Caroline, 38, from London said she’d always suffered from a weak bladder and discharge.
But she revealed that giving birth exasperated the problem.
She said: “I had to always wear a panty liner as even laughing would make me leak. Going to the gym I had to wear a sanitary towel as I would leak a lot. Running and jumping made things worse.
“During sex I used to get so wet that my partner could not feel me. Also he would pop out regularly.

“It was very embarrassing as I was told I was like a water slide.”
What upset Caroline the most about having the problem was she couldn’t jump or run around with her son unless she had a panty liner on.
She said: “We bought a trampoline and I could only go on if I went to the loo first and wore a pad. I always had to think ahead.”
She didn’t believe there were any treatments available until she was introduced to Genesis - a clinic specialising in women’s health and wellbeing.

There, she opted for Nu-V treatment, a state-of-the-art technology using lasers, which helps with symptoms such as dryness, laxity, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, all from a non-surgical 15-minute procedure.
Speaking of the treatment, Caroline said: “It’s a god send. Quick, painless and a friendly team. It was over in 10 minutes.
“I am no longer wearing panty liners or having to carry them around.
"My sex life has improved ten-fold, my orgasm’s have improved and life is so much better.

“I would recommend the treatment in a heat beat. Women should know about this treatment and not be nervous shy or embarrassed to give it a go.”
According to the Sexual Advice Association, sexual problems affect around one-third of young and middle-aged women, and around half of older women.
NHS Choices says: “To identify the reasons behind sexual dysfunction, both physical and psychological factors have to be considered, including a woman’s relationship with her partner.”
Laser treatment also helped a mother and daughter who suffered with urinary incontinence.
