The Benefits of Treating Stress Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence can significantly impact your quality of life, limiting activities and causing embarrassment or anxiety. At Pacific Clinic in Bellevue, our non-surgical approach addresses the underlying causes of bladder leakage with numerous benefits:

What is Stress Incontinence?

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities that put pressure on the bladder. This common condition affects many women, particularly after childbirth or during menopause, though it can occur at any age.

Stress incontinence happens when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues that support the bladder and urethra become weakened. This weakness allows urine to leak when pressure is placed on the bladder during everyday activities such as:

  • Coughing or sneezing
  • Laughing heartily
  • Exercising (especially running or jumping)
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Standing up from a seated position

While stress incontinence is common, it isn’t something you have to accept as an inevitable part of aging or motherhood. Modern, non-surgical treatments can significantly improve or resolve these symptoms, allowing you to live confidently without the worry of unexpected leakage.

The O-Shot® for Bladder Support

The O-Shot® is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to strengthen the tissues that support the urethra and bladder. While widely known for its benefits to sexual function, the O-Shot® has proven remarkably effective for treating stress incontinence by stimulating tissue regeneration and improved muscle function in the pelvic region.

How the O-Shot® Works for Incontinence: The procedure begins with drawing a small amount of your blood, similar to a routine blood test. This blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, creating platelet-rich plasma (PRP). After applying a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort, this concentration of healing factors is precisely injected into specific areas of the vaginal tissue that support the urethra and bladder. Our physicians recognize not all PRP is the same, hence our clinic uses the current top of the line PRP kit to process your blood & achieve the highest quality & concentration of PRP.

The growth factors and bioactive proteins in the PRP stimulate:

  • Tissue regeneration and strengthening
  • Increased collagen production
  • Improved blood flow to the treated areas
  • Enhanced muscle tone and function
  • Restoration of urethral support

Key Benefits of the O-Shot® for Stress Incontinence:

  • Non-surgical solution with no downtime
  • Uses your body’s natural healing mechanisms
  • May provide both immediate and progressive improvement
  • Addresses the underlying cause of leakage
  • Single treatment often provides significant relief
  • Results typically last 1-2 years
  • May simultaneously improve sexual function

The Treatment Process

1. Confidential Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with one of our physicians (female physician available upon request). In a comfortable, judgment-free setting, you’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and how incontinence is affecting your life. Our physicians will explain the O-Shot® procedure, expected results, and answer your questions.
On the day of your procedure, we begin by drawing a small sample of your blood. While this sample is being processed to create the platelet-rich plasma, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to ensure your comfort. For patients who experience anxiety about medical procedures, we offer Nitronox (medical nitrous oxide) to make the experience more relaxing.
The O-Shot® procedure itself is quick, typically taking only about 30 minutes. Our physicians will carefully administer the PRP injections using a very fine needle. Most patients describe feeling only mild pressure or minimal discomfort during the procedure.
After the procedure, you can return to normal activities immediately—there’s no downtime required. Some women notice improvements in bladder control within days of treatment, while the regenerative benefits continue to develop over several weeks as the growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration and enhanced muscle function.

Common Causes of Stress Incontinence

Understanding the factors that contribute to stress incontinence can help you make informed decisions about treatment. Common causes include several underlying issues that weaken supportive tissues. The O-Shot® treatment at Pacific Clinic addresses these causes by strengthening and regenerating the supportive tissues, rather than merely masking the symptoms.

Pregnancy and Childbirth
Pregnancy puts pressure on pelvic floor muscles, and vaginal delivery can stretch or damage these muscles and supportive tissues. Many women experience temporary incontinence after childbirth, but for some, these issues persist if the tissues don’t fully recover their strength.
Decreasing estrogen levels during menopause can lead to thinning and weakening of the urethral tissues, contributing to stress incontinence. These hormonal changes can affect the strength and elasticity of the pelvic floor.
As we age, the muscles in the pelvic floor naturally lose some of their strength and elasticity, potentially leading to reduced bladder support and control.
Certain surgeries, such as hysterectomy, can sometimes affect the supporting structures of the bladder and urethra, contributing to incontinence in some women.
Over time, repetitive high-impact activities like running or heavy lifting can put strain on the pelvic floor, potentially weakening the supportive tissues.
Excess weight puts additional pressure on the bladder and surrounding muscles, which can exacerbate incontinence issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the O-Shot procedure painful?
Patient comfort is our priority. We use topical anesthetic cream and offer Nitronox (medical nitrous oxide) to ensure a comfortable experience. Most patients report minimal discomfort—typically just a mild pressure sensation during the injections. The procedure is quick, usually completed in about 30 minutes, and performed by our physicians with care and precision.
Many women notice improvements in bladder control within days of treatment. However, the full regenerative benefits develop over several weeks as the growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration and enhanced muscle function. Some patients experience continued improvement for up to 3-4 months after the procedure. Results typically last 1-2 years, though this varies based on individual factors.
Many women achieve significant improvement with just one O-Shot treatment. However, depending on the severity of your incontinence and your response to the initial procedure, we may recommend a second treatment after 8-12 weeks for optimal results. Annual maintenance treatments can help preserve the benefits long-term.
Most insurance plans currently do not cover the O-Shot procedure, as it’s considered an elective treatment. However, we offer various payment options, including CareCredit financing with special terms, to make this treatment accessible. Our team will discuss all costs and payment options during your consultation.
The O-Shot has an excellent safety profile since it uses your body’s own natural growth factors. Temporary side effects may include mild swelling or sensitivity at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a day or two. There is no downtime—you can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
