When the issue of female incontinence comes up many people
assume that this means a complete lack of bladder control. The reality is that
for many women female incontinence means more of a light bladder leakage.
However, this problem can be as equally difficult to deal with as a more severe
incontinence problem. The good news is that there is wide variety of
incontinence products that can help women manage light bladder leakage using
products that are lighter and yet still as absorbent as adult diapers. These
urinary incontinence products range from incontinence underwear to incontinence
pads. Many of the most popular and widely used incontinence pads come from the
Poise, Abena, and Attends incontinence products lines.
Once a women has the right
incontinence product for her needs it is important to understand that basics of
the problem. Most light bladder leakage is caused by a form of stress
incontinence. This means that the pelvic floor muscles have been weakened. This
can often happen with the stress and damage that pregnancy and childbirth can
do to these muscles. Keep in mind that the incontinence can show up immediately
or even years later. When these muscles have been weakened it becomes difficult
for the woman to control the urinary function. This is especially apparent when
she sneezes, laughs, coughs, lifts, runs, jumps or makes any other vigorous or
sudden movement.

Another risk factor for female incontinence occurs as a woman gets older. The aging process can make the tissues and the surrounding muscles thinner and more prone to incontinence. In addition, the hormonal changes that occur during menopause can also make a woman more prone to female incontinence. In addition, there is a wide variety of other medical conditions that can make female incontinence worse. This can include but is not limited to: obesity, diabetes, neurological problems, and previous surgeries to the abdominal area. Because most female incontinence is caused by an underlying medical problem it is crucial that any woman who is experiencing symptoms seek out medical help from her doctor as soon as she can. Keep in mind that by seeking out early medical treatment you are taking proactive steps to manage your incontinence.
Many women feel embarrassed and
ashamed about any type of incontinence. If you are experiencing symptoms you
may feel alone. The reality is that this is a common problem that affects
millions of women. The good news is that there are many different support
groups that are made up of women who are dealing with this same problem. They
can provide both emotional support and information about help and resources
that are available. If you can’t attend a support group you may want to
