Involuntary leakage of urine during late pregnancy

We all know that the most outstanding person in the world is mother. As a mother, only women can understand the hardships of carrying a baby for ten months and giving birth to the next generation. During pregnancy, everything is different. There are often many surprising problems. Many mothers even report that they have involuntary urine leakage in the late pregnancy. What is going on?

Causes of involuntary urine leakage during late pregnancy

The most important cause of urinary incontinence during pregnancy is the physical compression injury caused by the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and the increase in the volume of the uterus. In addition, the pelvic floor drops sharply in the late pregnancy and the transmission of abdominal pressure information cannot reach the urethral orifice. The urinary incontinence becomes more and more serious with the increase of gestational age. Doctors say that generally, 3 out of 10 pregnant women will have urinary incontinence by the 12th week of pregnancy, and the proportion increases with the increase in gestational age. At the end of the confinement period 42 days after delivery, about 7% of primiparas continue to have urinary incontinence, while the rate increases to 10% among primiparas.

What should I do if I have involuntary urine leakage in late pregnancy?

If you experience frequent urination and loose urine during pregnancy, you need to first eliminate temporary symptoms, such as urethritis, bacteriuria and other urinary tract infections. Because common urinary tract infections cause a burning sensation when urinating, but pregnancy is manifested in the form of frequent urination and loose urine. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between physiological and physiological damage. If you are not sure, you should consult a doctor in time.

For women, pregnancy is not only physically difficult, but also mentally exhausting. Many mothers find that they involuntarily leak urine in the late stages of pregnancy and feel very uneasy. After all, many mothers are pregnant for the first time and do not know what will happen during pregnancy. Therefore, if there is unidentifiable behavior, mothers should consult a doctor frequently.

It is normal to have urinary discharge during late pregnancy. In the late pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the surrounding internal organs, causing the bladder volume to decrease, resulting in urinary incontinence, especially when drinking a lot of water, or when you are overly tired or exercise too much, you may inadvertently urinate. This is a normal phenomenon. This condition will gradually improve after the pregnant woman gives birth.
