Incontinence
during menopause
Incontinence is the lack
of controlling one's bladder and might be the most embarrasing
symptom of all during menopause. This is most noticeable during
sneezing or laughter.
While some may experience
small drops of urine to "leak" during laughter or sneezing, some
might have a bigger problem when it comes to controlling one's bladder.
Types of
incontinence
There are three types of
incontinence and are classified according to their characteristics
Stress
incontinence
Women with stress
incontinence involuntarily leak urine while coughing, laughing, sneezing,
exercising, or lifting something. The reason these activities can cause
incontinence is because they apply sudden pressure to the bladder walls,
which squeezes the bladder and causes urine to leak out. The reason this
occurs as women get older is because the pelvic muscles often grow weaker,
which weakens the walls between the bladder and vagina.
Urge
incontinence
This is the sudden,
intense, and frequent urge to urinate, immediately followed by an
uncontrollable loss of urine. This type of incontinence,
characterized by the need to urinate more than seven times a day or more
than twice each night, is the most common type of incontinence in elderly
people
Overflow
incontinence
Overflow incontinence is
characterized by frequent or constant dribbling urine. Those with overflow
incontinence are unable to completely empty the bladder, which fills up
and then overflows, causing leakage. This type of incontinence is
common with people who have damaged bladders or blocked urethras. It can
also be a result of nerve damage from diabetes.
As already mentioned
above, the symptoms of incontinence include: urine leaks during a sneeze,
laugh, or cough; urine leaks when lifting or running; not enough time to
reach a toilet once the urge to urinate is felt; urine continues to
dribble after urinating; urine leakage follows an intense desire to empty
the bladder; and continual leakage of urine.
Treatment
for incontinence
When treating any
condition, we are always looking for the least invasive treatment with the
smallest chance of unwanted side effects. During menopause, the best
treatment for incontinence or any other symptoms of menopause is to treat
the cause of the problem. This means rectifying the hormonal imbalance
will surely relieve the unwanted incontinence and all other symptoms of
menopause.
Exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles will also aid in preventing
stress incontinence.
There are several
exercise techniques to accomplish this. To begin, lie on the floor and
squeeze or pull in the pelvic muscles. Keep them tight for a count of
three. Release; rest for a few seconds. Repeat. It would also be helpful
if a woman experiencing incontinence cuts out caffeine and tobacco from
her life. These substances can lead to worsened incontinence.
The best way to combat
incontincence would be by mixing lifestyle changes and alternative
medicines. While a woman works to strengthen her pelvic floor muscles, she
can also take certain herbs that help to stimulate natural production of
hormones, particularly estrogen.
Since the incontinence are caused by a hormonal imbalance, it can be
treated very effectively with alternative medicine that restores your
hormonal balance.
