Urinary Incontinence Is More Common and Treatable Than You Think
Do you find yourself planning your daily schedule around the nearest restroom? If you experience unexpected bladder leaks when you laugh, cough, or exercise, you certainly aren’t alone. At Sorgente MedSpa and All Cape Gynecology in Hyannis, Massachusetts, we understand how deeply these symptoms can affect your daily life, confidence, and peace of mind.
Our founder, Dr. Lucia Cagnes, M.D., helps women regain control and comfort through advanced, noninvasive treatments such as vaginal revitalization/Thermi-Va. We're dedicated to breaking the silence around this common issue and showing you that relief is entirely within reach.
Understanding the reality of urinary leakage
Many women believe they're the only ones dealing with bladder control issues, which can make the condition feel incredibly isolating. Actual numbers tell a different story. Recent research from the University of Texas Medical Branch (2026) shows that approximately 63% of adult women in the United States experience some form of urinary incontinence.
Despite how widespread this issue is, a vast majority of people continue to suffer in silence without seeking help. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (2024), fewer than 40% of adults with urinary incontinence actually tell their healthcare providers about their symptoms, largely due to social stigma and embarrassment.
Is bladder leakage simply a part of aging?
One of the biggest misconceptions about bladder leakage is that it's simply something you have to accept as you get older. This common myth keeps many women from seeking the effective treatments that could restore their quality of life.
Although the condition does become more common over time, the Mayo Clinic (2023) clarifies that urinary incontinence is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Instead, it's a treatable medical symptom often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, hormonal changes, or other highly manageable factors.
Effective solutions to restore your comfort
You don't have to let bladder leaks dictate your schedule, limit your physical activities, or hold you back from enjoying life. We offer modern, comfortable treatments designed to strengthen your pelvic tissues and improve bladder support.
Our gentle vaginal revitalization therapies, including ThermiVa and the O-Shot®, may help improve tissue tone and address symptoms of urinary leakage without the need for invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times. The O-Shot® uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood and is administered to vaginal tissues with the goal of supporting tissue regeneration and improving sensitivity and function. For some women, it may also help improve certain bladder-control symptoms. We'll work closely with you to design a personalized care plan that addresses your unique symptoms and fits your busy lifestyle.
Depending on your symptoms and individual goals, Dr. Cagnes can determine whether ThermiVa, the O-Shot®, or a combination of both treatments may be appropriate for you.
Taking the first step toward relief is much easier than you think, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone. To learn more about our treatment options and how we can help you feel like yourself again, contact our team to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Cagnes today.
