Urine leaks like menstruation

I believe that when it comes to the situation where urine flows out like menstruation, many women must have encountered it. This is what we usually call urinary incontinence. In fact, many women suffer from urinary incontinence, especially middle-aged and elderly women are more prone to this disease, but urinary incontinence is a relatively embarrassing problem for women. Many people don’t understand what the cause is, and don’t know how to solve it as a personal problem.

Urinary incontinence refers to the patient's urine being discharged involuntarily from the urethra. This condition may occur in any season, but it is more severe in autumn and winter. Urinary incontinence is a disease that people of all ages and genders may suffer from, but it is more common in the elderly and women. Many women will experience this symptom, in which they will urinate involuntarily when coughing, exercising, or laughing, or they will always want to urinate and the frequency of urination will increase significantly. This condition is all about urinary incontinence in women.

There are many causes of female urinary incontinence. The main reasons are that women give birth multiple times during the pregnancy process, or have protruding urethra and uterine prolapse. During childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles suffer varying degrees of damage, which reduces the tolerance of some pelvic organs, thus causing stress urinary incontinence. In this case, women who choose natural childbirth have a higher incidence rate than those who choose caesarean section.

Some reasons are that women nowadays are under great pressure, and the stress of work, anxiety, depression, or mental bladder may cause the reflex of bladder muscles, which may cause incontinence due to skin allergy and inability to inhibit bladder contraction. There are also women whose estrogen levels decrease after menopause. The decrease in estrogen levels in women will soften the urethral mucosa and reduce its supporting capacity. And women who become obese after they get older can also suffer from urinary incontinence in women.

The treatment for female urinary incontinence is mainly based on pelvic floor muscle training. Such a treatment method has great potential benefits, low risk factors, and is effective for both stressful and urgent times. It can have great restorative value for elderly women who may have complications or adverse reactions to drugs. The 5-year cure rate or improvement rate of basic muscle training is very high.

Through the above introduction, we have already known the cause of urinary incontinence. For women, the greatest possibility is due to childbirth. Also, if some pelvic surgery has been done, the damage caused by the surgery may also cause urinary incontinence in women. Such a situation can be treated through pelvic exercises. Therefore, women must go to the hospital for regular check-ups and treatment when they suffer from urinary incontinence.
