A mother swears by her unusual cure for incontinence

Would you get it done?

A mother in the UK has said that getting a vaginal facelift has cured her incontinence. Kirsty Spray, from Camberley, Surrey, gave birth to her first daughter in November 2015. As little Isabelle was born using forceps, new mum Kirsty was left with incontinence. According to The Sun, she wasn't able to play with or pick up her baby without wetting herself. She said:

 "It was horrible thinking, ‘if I go on the floor and play with Isabelle I will wet myself’. I was so embarrassed and worried all the time. Before the procedure, the best thing in my life had just happened to me, but I was constantly distracted, thinking, ‘Where’s the next toilet?’ I was going through incontinence pads like no one’s business. It’s the last thing you want when you have just brought a beautiful child home. I couldn’t even pick Isabelle up, because my pants ended up soaking wet. Going out with her was a struggle, as even picking up her pram would set me off.”

After putting up with the problem for a year, she decided to do something about it and opted for a vaginal facelift. The procedure took 15 minutes in total and Kirsty says it has cured her. Speaking about her decision to do so, she said:

"I was not keen on surgical intervention, like a mesh, because of all the risks it held. But I came across something called a FemiLift. I saw it was a non-surgical C02 laser treatment, taking only 15 minutes – less time than a lunch-break. As far as I was concerned, I had nothing to lose. It was definitely worth a try.”

Traditionally, the treatment is used to thicken the wall of the vagina, but it helped with Kirsty's issue. It wasn't cheap though. Her treatment cost £3,785, but she says it has changed her life:

"I can pick Isabelle, now two, up, play with her, push her in the swings in the park – it’s changed my life.”
