You’re standing in line. You cough. And just like that—another leak.
It’s small. Manageable. But frustrating. You’re not alone in wondering:
“Will this eventually stop… or is this just how things are now?”

For many mothers in Singapore, this is the reality months—or even years—after giving birth. Some are told to wait it out. Others are handed vague advice about doing “more Kegels.” And so, the leaks continue in silence.

But science has moved on. And so should the support we give women after birth.

What We Know Now

Urinary leaks after childbirth—especially stress incontinence—are often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles. These muscles control when and how you release urine. If they’ve been overstretched or poorly coordinated, leaks can happen without warning.

Can the body recover on its own?
Yes, sometimes. But “sometimes” depends on:

• How much strain your body went through during pregnancy and delivery
  
• Whether you’re engaging the right muscles in daily movement
  
• How much time has passed without targeted care
  

For many women, leaks persist simply because the right muscles aren’t being activated—or can no longer activate well enough on their own.

Let’s Talk Machines

Here’s where things get interesting.
One of the most promising advances in postpartum wellness is the Emsella chair—a non-invasive device that stimulates thousands of pelvic floor contractions in a single 30-minute session.

You sit. Fully clothed. The chair does the work.
It targets the exact muscles responsible for leaks—deep inside your pelvic floor—far more effectively than manual Kegels.

This isn’t a wellness trend. It’s grounded in real clinical studies and widely used in pelvic health clinics around the world—including right here at Orchard Clinic.

Who Benefits the Most?

The women who see the best outcomes with Emsella aren’t just those with severe incontinence. In fact, many are:

• Mummies with mild leaks that flare during exercise or sneezing
  
• Women who tried Kegels but never felt improvement
  
• Those too busy for weekly therapy but want results
  
• Mums who gave birth years ago and thought it was “too late”
  

Emsella is not a magic fix—but it’s a powerful jumpstart, especially when paired with the right guidance.

Why Wait?

Leaks often start small. But the longer they go unmanaged, the more they chip away at comfort, confidence and quality of life.

If you’re hoping it’ll just resolve with time—you’re not wrong to hope. But hope works better with a plan.

At Orchard Clinic, we offer structured pelvic floor reviews and science-led care options, including Emsella, to help you take action. You don’t need to wait for symptoms to worsen before doing something about it.
