  1. FEMALE URINARY INCONTINENCE

  2. What Is Female Urinary Incontinence? Urinary incontinence in women refers to losing control of your bladder. It is a surprisingly common condition which can vary greatly in severity. Some women may occasionally experience a urine leak when they cough or sneeze, while others may have little to no control of their bladder whatsoever. The condition is most common in aging women, but it can be treated and managed with the right medication.

  3. What Are the Different Types of Female Urinary Incontinence? Stress incontinence can occur if your pelvic floor is weak or your outlet muscles aren’t strong enough to control urine flow. This results in urine leaking when there’s pressure on your bladder from exercise, coughing, or sneezing. Urge incontinence, also known as an overactive bladder, is common in the elderly. In this case, the bladder wall contracts even though the bladder isn’t full, which results in a strong urge to urinate. ● ●

  4. What Are the Different Types of Female Urinary Incontinence Cont’d? Overflow incontinence occurs when your bladder is too full, which could lead to a leak or frequent urination where only a little urine is being expelled at a time. Often this is caused by a problem with emptying the bladder in the first place. Mixed incontinence is very common in older women and is typically caused by a combination of urge and stress incontinence. ● ●

  7. Female Urinary Incontinence Treatment Treatment for urinary incontinence in elderly women typically does not involve bladder training or kegel exercises, but may require use of incontinence products like panty liners, adult diapers, and protective bedding to offer a sense of comfort and confidence.

  8. How to Manage Female Urinary Incontinence If you’re worried about experiencing female urinary incontinence, one of the best ways to manage the condition is to work to prevent it in the first place. Daily kegel exercises, using the bathroom immediately when you feel the need to, and avoiding smoking, which can cause a chronic cough and pressure on your bladder, are all great ways to reduce your chances of developing the condition.
