Weak muscles around the bladder cause uncontrolled urine leaks among many women across the world. Some of them find it hard to talk about the problem because they consider it embarrassing. Your muscles are unable to control the release of urine from the bladder so the leak can occur at any time even in public places. To avoid being affected by such a problem, you should visit doctors who give you advice about controlling urinary incontinence.

In some women, this problem can be very persistent while in others the problem may just be temporary. It is often termed as a temporary condition when other things are the ones that tend to jump start the problem. Some of these causes can be foods or drinks, or even some medications such as muscle relaxants and sedatives.

To some people, this condition is permanent and cannot even be rectified by use of any medicines. One of the situations that cause permanency of this condition is childbirth. When women give birth through the normal vaginal means, muscles around the bladder could be affected permanently. They could be weakened especially if the woman had not been getting proper prenatal care, or when they give birth in unsafe conditions such as at home without medical assistance.

The ability of the bladder muscles to hold urine also weakens with age. This is the reason why you will find that the elderly are more prone to this condition than the young people. You will find that the older a person gets, the harder it becomes for them to hold down the urine. At old age even men experience this type of problem.

Many people do not know that the neurological disorders could easily cause this problem among the victims. In fact, people with any of the neurological disorder will not realize when their urine is coming out due to the impaired impulse passage throughout the organs that regulate urine formation and flow. Some of these disorders includes spinal injury, brain tumor, stoke, Parkinsons disease and multiple sclerosis among others.

Exercising the muscles around the pelvic region is one of the ways that you can use to reduce the effects of this disease. Just like any other exercises, this makes the muscles stronger especially if your condition is permanent and cannot be reversed by use of any medicines.

Reducing your body weight is very effective in preventing this condition. Excessive weight around the abdomen and in the pelvic region exerts more pressure on the muscles around this region. This could weaken them leading to the disease.

Other preventative measures such as avoiding intake of too much alcohol or caffeine are necessary if one is to avoid having to deal with this kind of a problem. Other things that you might consider doing are to treat things such as constipation immediately you get to experience it. You should also avoid lifting objects that are too heavy for you.
