Types of Incontinence and Simple Solutions
There are several different types of bladder problems that can result in incontinence. Depending on your specific problem, different things are happening with the bladder when you leak urine. Part of the way to solve the problem is to find out what is wrong and take steps to prevent leakage. A urologist may help diagnose your problem and can help with proper treatment.
One of the main types of incontinence is stress incontinence. This type of problem results from the bladder urine leakage when you sneeze, cough or laugh. It also happens when you play sports or something lifts. In general, it is only a small amount of urine escapes, but can still be annoying and embarrassing for many people. For the most part, stress incontinence is the result of the muscles supporting the bladder weakens. Pregnancy and childbirth are the most common causes of this weakening muscles. Another cause may be stress due to constipation usual. The weakening of the muscles can not keep the bladder closed, so some leakage of urine.
Urge incontinence is another condition common bladder. This is when a leak on occasion, but also have frequent urges to go to the bathroom. You have to go two or three times a night. Incontinence emergency is often the result of one of the toilet instead of "holding it." When you go to the bathroom too often, the bladder, which can store up 500 ml of urine, it is customary to have only 150 to 200 ml. Because they can only hold small amounts, the bladder contracts, so you feel full more often. Alcohol and caffeinated beverages can aggravate the problem.
Another problem is overflow incontinence. overflow problems bladder occur when the bladder is emptying problems correctly. Leaking urine because the bladder has not entered correctly when he went to the bathroom. For men, the most common source the problem is an enlargement of the prostate. If you suddenly find you are having problems with bladder incontinence, and it seems that is the problem of overflow, it could indicate a prostate condition worse.
Reflex incontinence is a bladder problem is relatively rare, but can be very embarrassing. This is a condition in which one does not receive a warning or a "boost" to go to the bathroom. A urine without realizing that one needs, resulting in some situations very embarrassing. People with spinal injuries are more susceptible to reflex incontinence, as the nerves controlling the bladder are damaged.
There is another bladder problem known as fecal incontinence. This is quite rare, and easier to cure. This is when the stool leakage. The most common cause of this type of problem is constipation. This is perhaps the most shameful form of incontinence.
Many bladder problems can be fixed with proper treatment, provided they are not too severe. You can talk to your doctor about your options, and referral to a specialist if necessary.
