• Urinary Incontinence  readmore

 

• Stress Incontinence or SUI, occurs when urine leaks from the bladder when pressure is exerted in the abdominal area. It can occur when the muscles supporting the urethra or bladder have been weakened. It can make it hard to live a normal life; those with this condition have a difficult time doing simple things such as climbing the stairs, laughing, or sneezing without experiencing urine leakage.

 

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just as some lose their ability to see or hear, the urinary tract can stop working perfectly for some people. It is a perfectly natural occurrence and it is no reason to be embarrassed.

 

Many people think that SUI is a condition associated mainly with aging. This cannot be farther from the truth: SUI affects women young and old. A number of factors could be the culprit, including pregnancy, vaginal childbirth, menopause, gynecologic surgeries, and even strenuous exercise. And, no matter how much you'd want it to, it won't get better on its own.  readmore
