Dry January: A New Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Harpenden

Dry January: A Fresh Start with ME-Bella

When you think of “Dry January,” giving up alcohol might be the first thing that comes to mind. But what if Dry January could mean something entirely different—like finally saying goodbye to urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is a common yet under-discussed condition. In the UK, over 14 million people experience it, and worldwide, it affects 423 million people. People of all genders suffer from bladder leaks, often feeling isolated or embarrassed. At Riverbanks Clinic in Harpenden, we’re here to change that narrative with our ME-Bella treatment.

Let’s make this January truly dry—free from leaks and full of confidence.


What is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It can happen when you laugh, sneeze, exercise, or feel a sudden, strong urge to urinate. While it’s more common as we age, incontinence can affect people of all genders and backgrounds.

There are different types of urinary incontinence:

  • Stress Incontinence: Triggered by pressure on the bladder, such as during coughing or exercising.
  • Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense need to urinate that’s hard to control, often linked to overactive bladder muscles.
  • Mixed Incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence symptoms.
  • Overflow Incontinence: The bladder doesn’t empty fully, leading to dribbling.
  • Functional Incontinence: Caused by physical or cognitive impairments that make it difficult to reach the toilet in time.

For many, incontinence doesn’t just disrupt daily life—it also impacts confidence and emotional well-being.


Why Does Incontinence Happen?

Urinary incontinence has many causes, including:

  • Childbirth: Weakens the pelvic floor muscles, particularly after vaginal delivery.
  • Menopause: Hormonal changes can reduce bladder control.
  • Prostate Issues: Men often experience incontinence after prostate surgery or due to prostate disease.
  • Ageing: Muscles naturally lose strength over time.
  • Chronic Conditions: Obesity, diabetes, or neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease.

Whatever the cause, effective treatments are available to help you regain control.


ME-Bella: A Revolutionary Urinary Incontinence Treatment

At Riverbanks Clinic, we offer ME-Bella, a non-invasive treatment designed to target and strengthen pelvic floor muscles. This innovative solution uses Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to deliver the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel exercises in just 30 minutes—while you remain fully clothed.

Key Benefits of ME-Bella

  • Quick and Easy: Sessions last just 30 minutes and require no downtime.
  • Non-Invasive: No needles, surgery, or medication are involved.
  • Effective: Noticeable results after just a few sessions.
  • Restores Confidence: Patients report feeling free, confident, and in control again.

Why Choose ME-Bella?

ME-Bella is ideal for people looking for a non-invasive, drug-free solution. It’s suitable for:

  • People of all genders who want to improve pelvic floor strength.
  • New mothers experiencing postpartum bladder issues.
  • Anyone managing incontinence related to ageing, menopause, or hormonal changes.
  • Men recovering from prostate surgery or managing symptoms of prostate disease.
  • Individuals with weakened pelvic muscles due to lifestyle, chronic conditions, or other factors.

Unlike temporary fixes, ME-Bella works by addressing the root cause—strengthening the muscles that provide bladder control and support.


Real Stories from Our Patients
