What to do if a woman leaks urine when coughing

Coughing is a relatively normal condition. It may be caused by a cold or choking on food. Coughing can cause many problems. Sometimes coughing can also cause urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is a symptom that occurs in various groups of people. It can be considered a disease, or it may not be a disease, but it can be solved. So what should women do if they leak urine when they cough?

Prevention: Have a good attitude, be optimistic and open-minded, face the success, failure, pressure and troubles in life and work with a positive and peaceful attitude, and learn to regulate your mood and emotions. To prevent urinary tract infection, develop the habit of wiping your hands from front to back after urinating or defecating to avoid urethral infection. Before sexual intercourse, the couple should wash the vulva with warm water. After sexual intercourse, the woman should immediately empty her urine and clean her vulva. If you experience urinary pain or frequent urination after sexual intercourse, you can take anti-urinary tract infection drugs for 3 to 5 days to quickly cure the inflammation in the early stages.

Have regular sex life. Studies have shown that if postmenopausal women continue to maintain regular sex lives, they can significantly delay the physiological degeneration of the ovarian function of synthesizing estrogen, reduce the incidence of stress urinary incontinence, prevent other geriatric diseases, and improve their health level. Strengthen physical exercise, strengthen physical exercise, and actively treat various chronic diseases. Emphysema, asthma

As ovarian function declines, estrogen decreases sharply, causing the pelvic support structure to relax and bladder prolapse. At the same time, due to the atrophy of the urethral submucosal vascular network, the urethral smooth muscle relaxes, the closing force decreases, and the urethral muscle group's ability to control urine decreases. Therefore, when the intra-abdominal pressure increases, urine will flow out uncontrollably. It manifests as involuntary urine leakage when the patient exerts force, that is, when the abdominal pressure increases, such as when coughing, laughing, sneezing, or running. In severe cases, urine leakage may also occur involuntarily when standing.

Diagnosis: Urge urinary incontinence refers to the sudden, strong and uncontrollable urge to urinate, manifested by frequent urination, urgency, urine leakage, large amount of urine leakage, increased nocturia, difficulty and delayed urination, and continuous urination. Patients often have a sudden urge to urinate, and seem to be unable to hold it back any longer, and they wet their pants before they have time to go to the toilet. The most common causes are urinary tract infection and increased nerve excitability. Some patients have neurological pathological damage, such as inflammation, infection, stones, diverticulum, tumors, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cerebral hemorrhage, hemiplegia, etc., while others have no neurological pathological changes, only detrusor instability. Overactive bladder and detrusor hyperreflexia are the pathophysiological basis of urge urinary incontinence. This type of patient is suitable for medication, behavioral therapy, etc. Mixed urinary incontinence: Both exist at the same time. Treat overactive bladder with medication first, then decide whether to have surgery.
