A short, patient-facing YouTube video by Dr. Anne Truong (Fredericksburg, VA) about urinary stress incontinence in women and the O-Shot as a non-pharmacologic alternative. Dr. Truong describes how stress incontinence can begin after about age 35, recounts her own limitations exercising after age 40, and explains the O-Shot process (blood draw, centrifuge, platelet concentration) intended to strengthen vaginal tissue and increase clitoral stimulation. She reports personal benefit after two treatments and offers help to patients.

Hi, I'm Dr. Ann Truong in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I'm here today to talk about urinary incontinence and stress incontinence in women. I know what it's like to have problem with stress incontinence. It limits your life. In exercise you lose a little bit of urine. It's embarrassing in social situation. And sometimes it limits where you can go at times what you need to do. And this happens when you get older as you hormone changes and usually happen after the age of 35. I've been there. After I turn 40, I had limitations where I can exercise and certain things I couldn't do like trampoline or jumping jacks. And also if I was in a car ride, I have to get out multiple times to go to the bathroom. It limits where I need to go. And sometime when I go see the doctor, they offer me opportunities taking medication. But it's sedating and it dries my mouth. So now there is an alternative beside medication. It is called O shot. What that is is using your blood to help heal yourself and strengthen the muscles in your vagina. What we do is take out blood from your veins, put in centrifuge and separate the red blood cells from the plasma and concent the platelets. What the platelets are are tons of healing factors that help you heal and help grow new tissues. So what it does is a natural process to help you increase the muscle tone in your vagina. And on top of that, it will also increase stimulation in the clitoral region to enhance sexual activity. Believe me, I had this done and it worked for me. And it's a life changing event. I had it done twice. Now I can go wherever I want, do all type of exercises and I don't have to worry about accident. I would like the opportunity to help you with this problem. Thank you.
