Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Floor Health
Many women, experiencing childbirth and entering perimenopause and menopause, notice unexpected changes in their bodies one of the most common yet rarely discussed concerns is urinary leakage/urinary incontinence. Whether it happens while laughing, coughing, exercising, or even walking quickly, this condition can affect daily comfort and confidence.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine due to reduced bladder control or weakened pelvic support structures. Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor issues are incredibly common, but because they’re wrapped in a blanket of societal silence, too many people suffer through them alone assuming it’s just an inevitable part of aging or parenthood.
The kinds of incontinence women suffer from are
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Triggers: physical movements or activities like coughing, sneezing, exercising or lifting put pressure on the bladder.
Cause: weakened pelvic floor muscles or a lack of support around the urethra, pregnancy, childbirth and high impact sports.
Symptom: a small squirt or trickle of urine during activity.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
The descent of pelvic organs may lead to discomfort, pressure, and functional challenges, commonly due to weakened support structures after childbirth or aging. A cystocele (bladder prolapse) and rectocele (rectum prolapse) occur when weakened pelvic muscles push the bladder and the rectum to push into the vaginal walls. Women may have difficulty emptying the bladder and suffer from frequent urinations and incontinence. Stretching and weakening of pelvic tissues during vaginal delivery, and lower estrogen levels during menopause decreasing the elasticity of the tissues are the main causes of cystocele and rectocele.
