Urinary incontinence is a very common problem in females. Let’s look into why this happens and how to treat it.
Causes of urinary incontinence in females
Generally, urinary incontinence is characterized by a loss of bladder control. Childbirth, pregnancy, and menopause are common reasons for incontinence in the female body. During pregnancy, the female body goes through so many changes. During pregnancy, the increased weight pressure in the abdominal cavity is responsible for stress incontinence.
In childbirth, especially through vaginal delivery, the strain comes into the pelvic floor muscles and that is responsible for incontinence. Other factors such as obesity, consumption of foods, drinks, and mediation also responsible for urinary incontinence
Two common urinary incontinence
- Stress incontinence
Activities like coughing, sneezing, or laughing increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, resulting in stress on urinary continence. It is because of the pelvic floor muscles getting weakened and the bladder having slipped lower. Stress incontinence is a common incontinence problem and it is treatable. Physiotherapy can cure this problem, but if it fails, surgery is a good option.
- Urge incontinence
Urge incontinence is occupied by an intense urge to urinate. Females who have urge incontinence normally urinate multiple times in the night, and this indicates that urge incontinence occurred.
Diseases such as diabetes, are also responsible for urge incontinence. Some neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s, also contribute to urge incontinence.
