What is urinary incontinence?
To start managing your condition you need to know what
you are dealing with. Urinary incontinence impacts millions of people in the
United States. It happens when the body is unable to hold in urine and it
allows it to release at any time. Stress incontinence is the most common type
of urinary incontinence as you may experience it when you laugh, sneeze, cough,
or just place extra pressure on the bladder. Another type of urinary
incontinence can arise when your body has the sudden urge to urinate. This
condition is known as urge incontinence and it can release part of your bladder
or the entire holding in your bladder without any type of warning. Some women
report that may things can trigger it even the sound of running water. Speak to
your doctor in order to find out what type of urinary incontinence you are
dealing with so you can use the right type of incontinence products and
treatment options to gain control over it.
Treatments for
urinary incontinence
The most common treatment options for urinary
incontinence will be to make changes to your diet and to increase your
exercise, focusing on a lot of pelvic floor exercises. Kegel exercises are the
common method used to help treat urinary incontinence. By building up these
pelvic floor muscles again you will have more control over your ability to hold
in the urine. This can buy you some time as you run to the restroom to release
your bowels. To work on your Kegel exercises you will simply focus on stopping the
stream of urine and then releasing it again. These are the sphincter muscles
that you need to strengthen in order to have control over your bladder once
again. Dietary changes often focus on cutting out the foods that will stimulate
the bladder like caffeine and sugars. Your doctor can provide you with a
complete list of foods that need to be reduced or eliminated to prevent an
increase with incontinence problems.
