Mild Incontinence Treatment

Mild incontinence is small, occasional urine leakage — often with coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercise. At FemRenew in Toronto, Dr. Fay Weisberg assesses the cause and discusses non-surgical mild incontinence treatment options, including MonaLisa Touch laser, that aim to strengthen vaginal and bladder-supporting tissue.

Overview & Causes

Many tissues in the body rely on estrogen to keep their strength and integrity, and the vagina is no exception. As women age and lose estrogen, the vaginal walls thin, blood flow changes, and the surrounding tissue weakens. Those same changes can affect the support and strength around the bladder, and some women start to notice small leaks of urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.

This kind of light leakage — often called stress incontinence when it happens with physical pressure — is common and usually very manageable, but it tends to be under-discussed. Many women quietly adjust their routines around it instead of mentioning it. It’s worth raising, because the underlying tissue weakening often responds to treatment, and because an assessment can confirm it’s mild stress incontinence rather than another bladder issue that needs a different approach.

Symptoms

• Small urine leaks when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting
• Leakage during exercise, running, or jumping
• Occasional urgency with minor loss before reaching the washroom
• A sense that the pelvic floor feels weaker than it used to
• Adjusting activities, clothing, or routines to manage leaks
• Leaks that have gradually become more frequent over time

How FemRenew Approaches Mild Incontinence

FemRenew focuses on the tissue changes that often sit behind mild leakage. By increasing blood flow to the vagina and strengthening the walls with collagen and other cells, treatment with the MonaLisa Touch laser may improve mild incontinence in some women. As one of Canada’s first practices to offer this kind of laser treatment, Dr. Weisberg can explain how it works, what a treatment course involves, and — honestly — whether you’re likely to benefit, since results vary from woman to woman. We’ll also confirm that your symptoms fit mild stress incontinence; if the assessment points to a different or more significant bladder problem, we’ll guide you toward the appropriate care rather than applying a one-size-fits-all answer.

What to Expect — Your OHIP Consultation

Care begins with an OHIP Consultation. You request it on our site, and we’ll contact you within 24–48 hours to arrange your appointment. During the visit, Dr. Weisberg reviews when and how the leaks happen, your history, and the condition of the supporting tissue, then explains whether MonaLisa Touch or another approach makes sense for your situation. You’ll leave with a clear plan and realistic expectations. To get started, call (416) 924-4666 or book your OHIP Consultation online.
