Yours from Specialist Physical Therapist, Clarice Ezeanya
Are you spending so much money on pads because of your urinary incontinence?
Is your bladder leakage affecting your ability to go out on a date or intimacy?
Are you embarrassed about laughing in public because you feel like you will leak urine?
Are you frustrated that rest and pills prescribed to you haven’t worked and things seem to be getting worse as you age?
Do you feel a sudden urge to pee immediately when you walk in your front door or when you hear the water running?
Do you have to cross your legs when you cough, sneeze, or laugh?
Do you go to the bathroom often and sometime spend too much time in there?
Are you worried about getting into the pool because you afraid of your bladder changing the pool watercolor due to leaky urine?
Are you holding back during your workouts because you’re afraid of leaking? (…or worse, you aren’t working out at all?!)
Just keep doing kegel exercises
It’s “normal” with age or after having babies.
Taking pills is your ONLY option
Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still having accidents…)
Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again, you’ll still be having accidental leaks and feel like you’re always looking for the nearest bathroom when you’re out running errands (I bet you’ve already experienced this!)
Kegels IS NOT the only way; in fact, for some women doing Kegels can make leaking and urgency worse.
Although it’s common, it’s not normal to have urinary incontinence after having babies or as you get older!
Surgery and injections are not the only options. They’re just the only options your surgeon can offer you.
