What to do if you leak urine when you sneeze?

Urinary incontinence is a problem that exists in many middle-aged and elderly women, and the main cause of urinary incontinence is closely related to the excessive relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. However, the existence of urinary incontinence will always have a great impact on the patient's normal life, and the urinary incontinence situations of different patients may also vary greatly. A small number of women leak urine when they sneeze. How should they solve this problem?

The sign of stress incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine from the urethra in response to increased abdominal pressure. The cause of this disease is related to age, due to the decrease of estrogen and the degeneration of the urethral sphincter. Other causes include reproductive reasons, pelvic organ prolapse, obesity, racial and genetic factors.

There are currently a variety of treatments for this disease. If the symptoms of the disease are not very serious, you can relieve the symptoms by doing pelvic floor muscle training on your own, such as pelvic floor exercises. Generally, it takes about eight weeks of continuous training to gradually see the effects. If self-training is ineffective, you can choose adrenaline receptor agonists to stimulate somatic motor neurons and urethral smooth muscles to increase urethral resistance. Common clinical ones include midodrine, methoxamine, etc. They need to be used with caution, otherwise they are likely to cause side effects. Another option is surgical treatment. Generally, patients with moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence that seriously affects their lives choose to undergo anti-stress urinary incontinence surgery, or transvaginal mid-urethral sling treatment.

In addition to the above treatment methods, in daily life, if you are obese, you need to lose weight in time, change your bad eating habits, maintain a light diet with high vitamins, high protein and high nutrition, and quit smoking and drinking.
