Hi to all blrmoms,

Now a days all womens having Urinary incontinence problems.The treatment includes the following.

Pelvic Muscle Exercises (Kegel exercises) - easy exercises to make your pelvic muscles stronger. Doing these exercises every day can help reduce or cure stress leakage.

Electrical Stimulation - electrodes are placed in the vagina or rectum for a short time to stimulate nearby muscles and make them stronger. This treatment can reduce both stress incontinence and urge incontinence.

Biofeedback - biofeedback helps you learn how your body works. A therapist puts an electrical patch over your bladder and urethral muscles. A wire connected to the patch is linked to a TV screen. You and your therapist watch the screen to see when these muscles contract, so you can learn to control these muscles. Biofeedback can be used with pelvic muscle exercises and electrical stimulation to help control stress incontinence and urge incontinence.

Timed Voiding or Bladder Retraining - there are two ways you can train your bladder to hold urine better. In timed voiding, you urinate at set times instead of waiting for a strong urge. To do bladder retraining, you slowly increase the time between your scheduled voiding times to train your bladder to hold urine better. These treatments can reduce urge incontinence and overflow incontinence. A doctor can tell you if these may help you.

Weight Loss - extra weight puts more pressure on your bladder and nearby muscles, which can cause bladder control problems. If you're overweight, work with your doctor to plan a diet and exercise program that works for you.

Useful info Deekshita, Many women face this problem as they age.They refuse to socialize and avoid travel etc out of fear of embarassment in public. And often they are misunderstood by relatives and friends when they don't attend social gatherings
