Have you come across a situation when you experience a urine leakage with a small laugh or times when you are just unable to control your urge to pee? Probably, your pelvic muscles are weak and which is why you are experiencing a leakage. Urinary incontinence can put you in some very embarrassing and unpleasant situations. This problem is most common in senior citizens and women. Spot The Causes Heart problems, debilitating birth defects, degenerative conditions such as Parkinsons, Alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, are the ones that most commonly cause this condition. Considering the urinary system structure in women, they are more prone to this embarrassing situation than men. Although it is not very common among the youngsters, factors like stress, urinary tract infection, overactive bladder and pregnancy can lead to urine leakage. Your bladder is considered as overactive when you tend to urinate more often than others who consume the same amount of fluids. Stress incontinence that occurs due to pregnancy or menopause tends to weaken our pelvic muscles leading to incontinence. During pregnancy and childbirth the pelvic muscles that support the urinary bladder tends to go weak because of the constant pushing and stretching. Besides this, pre-menstrual and menopausal change of your body causes hormonal fluctuations which also contribute to this problem. Anxiety, certain health conditions and medications can also cause incontinence or poor control over the urge to urinate. Treating The Condition You can strengthen your pelvic muscles by doing Kegel exercises. These exercises are often advised and taught by the gynecologists during pregnancy. Practicing these exercises may not yield overnight results. It may take few weeks for you to see significant improvement. These exercises can keep your muscles functional well into old age thereby making you less prone to this condition. Kegel have been used since ancient times to keep the vaginal muscles tight after childbirth. Bladder retraining also helps in establishing your voluntary control of its function. This technique uses frequent peeing before it is full in order to suppress the urge and retrain it to slowly increase the time between toilet breaks. Urine leakage caused by urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most easy to-treat condition. All it takes is a course of antibiotics and/or a systemic alkalinizer to create a hostile environment and prevent pathogens from thriving. While you may benefit from surgery of the bladder or abdomen to treat this condition, most incidences of urine leakage are treatable without having to go under the knife. Most women benefit from the behavioral therapies suggested as above, and a number of other treatments, such as biofeedback, neuromodulation, vaginal devices and injections.
