En devenant partenaire de C&G
Medicare Ltd et distributeur du dispositif Incostress en France,

femmes atteintes d’incontinence d’effort.

Vous pourrez accéder à la fiche produit

A propos de HEDONEO MEDICAL

HEDONEO MEDICAL est une SARL dont le siège social est à Boulogne
Billancourt, spécialisée dans les dispositifs médicaux, notamment
concernant la rééducation personnelle du périnée, et dédiés à la santé
intime au travers de l’édition du site hedoneo.com.

La santé intime a maintenant sa boutique

HEDONEO MEDICAL mettra en ligne fin
septembre un site consacré à la santé sexuelle. En effet, au travers de
dossiers thématiques en libre accès, d’un blog et d’une boutique,
Hedoneo.com s’intéressera à la santé et au bien-être de la sexualité.
Parce que prendre soin de sa santé, c’est aussi prendre soin de sa
sexualité, hedoneo.com adopte une approche inédite en sélectionnant les
produits avec une grille de lecture médicale pour composer son offre de
produits cosmétiques, para-pharmaceutiques ou pour proposer des
dispositifs médicaux concernant des indications précises ayant trait à
la santé sexuelle.

Le bien-être sans faire l’impasse sur sa sexualité

En matière de bien-être, la quête du «
mieux vivre », notamment plus longtemps et en bonne santé, ou encore
bien manger et avoir une activité physique sont souvent évoqués. En
s’inscrivant dans une tendance forte pour une sexualité récréative et
en suivant les dernières préconisations médicales en faveur du soin du
périnée, Hedoneo.com propose de mettre toutes les chances de son côté
en prenant soin aussi de sa sexualité. Hedoneo.com apporte un concept
“home care” et une interface neutre qui manquaient à l’offre actuelle.

Des soins pour de vrais besoins et des indications tabous

Par exemple, le soin du périnée est
souvent en question dans des indications telles que l’incontinence
(près de 4 millions de femmes en France en souffrent), à laquelle
s’ajoutent les suites de grossesse (plus de 830000 naissances en
France) souvent responsables de faiblesse du périnée.

Women’s explanations for urinary incontinence, their management strategies, and their quality of life during the postpartum period

Posted by Pelvic Angel on April 10, 2010

Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, The Regional Hospital Viborg, Viborg, Denmark.

Although pregnancy is a risk factor for urinary incontinence (UI), minimal information is available to help clinicians understand postpartum women’s experiences of UI. Our aim was to explore postnatal women’s explanations for UI, strategies for managing and dealing with UI, rationale for not doing anything about UI, and its influence on their quality of life. Design: Cross-sectional survey. The participants were 75 women who had given birth to live children at Viborg Hospital in Denmark during a 3-month period from November 2002 to January 2003 and who had experienced UI since giving birth. UI questionnaires were mailed to women who had given birth at Viborg Hospital during a 3-month period. The questionnaire included the Urogenital Distress Inventory, the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, and the General Continence Questionnaire. A follow-up letter was sent to potential participants 2 weeks after the initial mailing. The most frequently reported lower urinary tract symptoms were small amounts of urine leakage (59%) and leakage related to physical activity, coughing, or sneezing (55%). Half the women reporting these symptoms indicated that they were moderately or greatly bothered by them. Living with UI affected the willingness of some women to go to places where they were unsure about the availability of toilets (27%), as well as the way in which they dressed (31%). Some women reported diminished ability to have sexual relations (23%) and reduced involvement in physical and recreational activities (23%). UI was associated with feelings of frustration (25%) and embarrassment (25%). Most participants (76%) perceived that they had become incontinent due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and because they had not performed sufficient pelvic floor muscle exercises. The most common management strategies for UI were more frequent toileting (64%) and pad use (56%). Some women (24%) reported that they had done nothing about their UI. Given the profound impact UI usually exerts on the lives of postpartum women and the common use of ineffective management strategies, healthcare clinicians need to actively screen for and treat this condition.
