What is a Urinary Incontinence?

• Urinary incontinence ( UI ) is the loss of
  complete
• control over your bladder causing leakage of
  urine.
• Symptoms can range from mild leaking to frank
• wetting.
• Many women and men suffer from urinary
• incontinence. A lot of people do not tell anyone
• about their symptoms as they are embarrassed, or
• they may think nothing can be done. Urinary
• incontinence is not just a medical problem. It
  can
• affect ones emotional, psychological and social
  life.
• Many people with this problem are afraid to carry
  on their
• normal daily activities.

Modifications in Lifestyle

• Lose weight. In overweight women, losing weight
  has been shown to decrease the frequency of urine
  leakage.
• Avoid constipation. Repeated straining will
  worsen incontinence.
• Limit intake of caffeine ( present in coffee, tea
  and cola ), which is a diuretic.
• Alter your fluid intake. Too much or too less of
  fluids will worsen incontinence.
• Seek treatment for chronic coughing.
• Quit smoking

CAUSES OF URINARY INCONTINENCE

• UI is usually caused by problems with muscles and
  nerves that help to control ( hold or pass )
  urine.
• UI is twice as common in women as in men. This is
  because of pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.
  However, both women and men can become
  incontinent from brain injury, birth defects,
  stroke, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and
  physical changes associated with ageing. Other
  causes that can affect both the sexes include
  chronic constipation, urinary tract infections,
  obesity, excessive consumption of
  caffeine/alcohol or with certain medications.
