Around 1 in 3 women experience urinary leakage postpartum, and studies suggest it affects 38–55% of women over 60, with prevalence increasing after menopause.
What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It may happen when coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising, with a sudden urge to urinate, or a combination of both.
​
It is especially common after childbirth and during perimenopause and menopause, when changes to the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues can affect bladder control. While common, it can have a meaningful impact on confidence, intimacy, exercise and everyday life.
What is Plus90? How Can It Help?
Plus90 is a Health Canada–licensed radio-frequency device designed for women’s intimate health. It delivers controlled, gentle heat to vaginal tissue to improve blood flow, support collagen remodelling, improve tissue function and reduce leakage.
​
​For appropriate patients, Plus90 can help improve symptoms of stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence, including leakage with coughing, sneezing or exercise, as well as urgency and frequency. By heating and remodeling vaginal and surrounding supportive tissue, treatment may improve support around the bladder and urethra and help reduce leakage, without surgery or downtime.
Who May Benefit From Plus90?
Postpartum women, women in perimenopause or menopause, and those experiencing stress, urge or mixed incontinence. If you are looking for comprehensive care for menopause, including hormones and relief of GSM (Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause), please see our Menopause Program here.

What Can I Expect During The Plus90 Treatment?
Plus90 uses controlled radio-frequency energy to gently heat vaginal tissue. A small treatment applicator is inserted into the vaginal canal and moved through the treatment area while delivering consistent warmth.

Most patients describe the treatment as warm but comfortable, and no anesthesia is required. Sessions are relatively quick, and you can return to most normal activities afterward, with any post-treatment instructions reviewed with you before you leave.
