How to treat cough and urine leakage

Urinary inconvenience is a very embarrassing thing in our eyes, and it may always happen to many elderly people who have difficulty walking. But people don’t know that urinary incontinence is actually a common condition, especially for women. Some women urinate when they cough or sneeze. So, how to treat urinary incontinence caused by coughing? Let’s have a simple understanding of this problem. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

1. Stress urinary incontinence is sometimes very embarrassing and sometimes really affects your daily life. The main purpose of sharing this medical history with you is to let you know about this disease. It can be alleviated or treated in some ways. Of course, you also need to know why you need to go to the hospital for treatment. Lifestyle changes: including weight loss and weight control; quitting smoking and drinking; limiting or avoiding drinks containing alcohol and alcohol; drinking water at a regular time and frequency instead of drinking large amounts of water suddenly, etc.

2. Physical therapy, mainly pelvic function training, is divided into two types. One is pelvic floor muscle training such as Kegel exercises performed at home; the other is to go to the hospital for more precise pelvic function training with transcranial magnetic resonance imaging.

3. Behavioral therapy, mainly the recording of urinary system logs and the training of urinary habits. This is more suitable for people with complex urinary incontinence. Record your daily drinking time, daily drinking amount; daily urination time, urine volume. Go to the bathroom to urinate at regular intervals, whether you feel the urge to urinate or not.

4. Some "external application devices" (mainly used for women, similar to barbells, to help control urination. Omitted) Surgery: When urinary incontinence seriously affects daily life and other treatments are ineffective, doctors may recommend surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence. The purpose of surgery is to appropriately increase the support of the dilation. The most common method at this stage is the vest urethral orifice suspension training (TVT-O), which places a sling around the urethra to support it. It is a reasonable surgical treatment for both men and women. The surgical treatment is simple and can be performed under local or general anesthesia, and the time usually does not exceed thirty minutes.
