What is urine leakage during pregnancy?

After pregnancy, many pregnant mothers will experience some abnormal conditions in their bodies. These abnormalities may be normal physiological phenomena or may be caused by diseases. If a pregnant mother experiences urinary incontinence during pregnancy, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by the development of the fetus in the abdomen, causing the uterus to compress the bladder. If this is the case, then there is no need to worry. If there are other symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

What causes urine leakage during pregnancy

Some pregnant women may experience urinary incontinence, which is normal. It may occur more frequently and severely in the third trimester, mainly because the enlarged fetus compresses the bladder and urethra. After entering the late pregnancy, the pregnant woman's weight gains very quickly and her abdomen has become very large. The abdomen, intestines, stomach and bladder are under pressure, and you often feel stomach discomfort and are particularly prone to back pain. Frequent urination will become more severe and vaginal discharge will increase, so some pregnant women will experience urinary incontinence.

How to relieve urinary incontinence during pregnancy

Generally speaking, when treating urinary incontinence through pelvic floor muscle exercises, the treatment plan includes the following elements: the number of contractions, the frequency of exercise, the duration of a contraction, and the cycle. Experts recommend that you start with more contractions. The recommended exercise frequency is every day, which can be completed in 3 to 4 times. The duration of a contraction can start from 2 to 3 seconds and then gradually increase to 10 seconds if the muscles are weak and the contraction cannot last for 10 seconds. As for the length of the cycle, generally speaking, it takes more than 3 months to see initial results, so you must persevere.

If pregnant mothers are afraid of embarrassing situations on the street, they can only urinate frequently and try to control water and salt intake. Exercise your pelvic floor muscles regularly, and also pay attention to preventing constipation and avoiding lifting heavy objects.
