Management of Urinary Incontinence in Women | NU Hospitals

Urinary Incontinence in Women 


It’s high time that we start to talk about urinary incontinence. Urinary Incontinence is the loss of bladder control, any uncontrolled leakage of urine. It can also be called as bladder weakness or OAB (Over Active Bladder). It can happen due to various reasons such as exercise, coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects. Activities which increase abdominal pressure are the main reason for urinary incontinence.

Compared to men, more women get affected by urinary incontinence. Generally, most of the women with urinary incontinence have weak pelvic muscles. These muscles support the bladder, bladder neck and the urethra (the urinary passage). The reason for weakened pelvic muscles is pregnancy, childbirth, and prior pelvic surgery. Incontinence may be the first symptom of a urinary tract infection.  To know about Urinary incontinence treatment visit NU hospitals Bangalore.

These are the different types of incontinence:

·         Urge incontinence – it is the inability to hold until you reach the toilet.
·         Overflow incontinence – leakage happens only when your bladder is full.
·         Functional incontinence – Due to arthritis or other disorder, some people may not be able to hold it until they reach the toilet.
·         Total incontinence – Complete loss of bladder control and usually happens after to any surgery to the lower urinary tract.
·          Mixed incontinence – Stress and urge to urinate.

If you feel like you have any of this incontinence, it’s better you seek for urinary incontinence treatment.
