What to do if you can't hold your urine after giving birth

Many mothers will experience many physical changes after giving birth, and many of these changes are very strange and they cannot find the right way to solve them. Just like mothers have a very strange question: what to do if they can’t hold their urine after giving birth? Will this have any adverse effects on mothers? Let’s take a look at the different medical solutions.

In this case, urinary incontinence should be considered. Urinary incontinence is caused by the loss of urination control due to bladder sphincter damage or nerve dysfunction, which causes urine to flow out involuntarily. Treatment measures are carried out according to different pathogenesis:

First, a large amount of residual urine can cause stress urinary incontinence or overflow urinary incontinence. The treatment principle of this type of urinary incontinence is to use surgery (bladder neck or external urethral sphincter incision) to reduce urethral resistance to reduce residual urine.

Second, detrusor hyperreflexia or unstable bladder can cause urge or reflex urinary incontinence, and sometimes cough urge urinary incontinence. The treatment principle is to inhibit the uninhibited contraction of the bladder with drugs (such as verapamil), sacral nerve block, sacral nerve surgery or bladder nerve stripping.

3. Insufficient sphincter function. This type of patient has residual urine. The principle of treatment is to increase the resistance of the vagina with drugs (such as ephedrine, propranolol, etc.) or surgery. Patients with non-resistance urinary incontinence can implant an artificial urinary sphincter device, urethral lengthening surgery, urethral clamp (for women) or penis clamp

All mothers are the greatest people in the world, so they go through a lot for their children, from the ten months of pregnancy to the postpartum care and love. Most mothers can’t hold their urine after giving birth. What should they do? I hope the three situations introduced above can help mothers solve the problem. If the situation of not being able to hold urine is very serious, you must go to the hospital and listen to the doctor's advice.
