Urinary incontinence causes, symptoms and treatment with (Uridoc)

1
urinary incontinence

• You have urinary incontinence. This means you are
  not able to keep urine from leaking from your
  urethra, the tube that carries urine out of your
  body from your bladder. Urinary incontinence may
  occur because of aging, surgery, or childbirth.
  There are many things you can do to help keep
  urinary incontinence from affecting your daily
  life.

Controlling the Need to Urinate

• Some activities may increase leakage for some
  people. Things to avoid include
• Coughing, sneezing, and straining, and other
  actions that put extra pressure on the pelvic
  muscles. Get treatment for a cold or lung
  problems that make you cough or sneeze.
• Very heavy lifting.
• Ask your health care provider about things you
  can do to ignore urges to pass urine. After a few
  weeks, you should leak urine less often.
• Train your bladder to wait a longer time between
  trips to the toilet.
• Start by trying to hold off for 10 minutes.
  Slowly increase this waiting time to 20 minutes.

Skin Care

• Clean the area around your urethra right after
  urinating. This will help keep the skin from
  getting irritated. It will also prevent
  infection. Ask your health care provider about
  special skin cleaners for people who have urinary
  incontinence.
• Using these products often will not cause
  irritation or dryness.
• Most do not need to be rinsed off. You can just
  wipe the area with a cloth. Use warm water and
  wash gently when bathing. Scrubbing too hard can
  hurt the skin. After bathing, use a moisturizer
  and a barrier cream.
• Barrier creams keep water and urine away from
  your skin.
• Some barrier creams contain petroleum jelly, zinc
  oxide, cocoa butter, kaolin, lanolin, or
  paraffin.

Diet

• Eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. Try to
  lose weight if you are overweight. Being too
  heavy will weaken the muscles that help you stop
  urinating.
• Drink plenty of water
• Drinking enough water will help keep odors away.
• Drinking more water may even help reduce leakage.
• Do not drink anything 2 to 4 hours before going
  to bed. Empty your bladder before going to bed to
  help prevent urine leakage during the night.
• Avoid foods and beverages that can make urine
  leakage worse. These include
• Caffeine (coffee, tea, some sodas)
• Carbonated drinks, such as soda and sparkling
  water
• Alcoholic beverages
• Citrus fruits and juices (lemon, lime, orange,
  and grapefruit)
• Tomatoes and tomato-based foods and sauces

• Train your bladder to wait a longer time between
  trips to the toilet.
• Start by trying to hold off for 10 minutes.
  Slowly increase this waiting time to 20 minutes.
• Learn to relax and breathe slowly. Or do
  something that takes your mind off your need to
  urinate.
• The goal is to learn to hold the urine for up to
  4 hours.
• Urinate at set times, even if you do not feel the
  urge. Schedule yourself to urinate every 2 to 4
  hours.
• Empty your bladder all the way. After you go
  once, go again a few minutes later.
• Even though you are training your bladder to hold
  in urine for longer periods of time, you should
  still empty your bladder more often during times
  when you might leak. Set aside specific times to
  train your bladder. Urinate often enough at other
  times when you are not actively trying to train
  your bladder to help prevent incontinence.
