INCONTINENCE Posted: 02-18-08 12:59pm
I always have this when I sneeze and I
wanted to know the reason. I have 4
children and I was told that was the
reason. Are there any ways to prevent
this? It is very uncomfortable at times
and also embarrassing. Thanks

Stress incontinence - caused by weakend
pelvic floor muscles. Either go to a
physio and be shown the correct exercises
or see your doctor to discuss a 'repair'.
By the way, it is quite common among women
who have had several children!

some good resources Posted: 02-19-08 14:42pm
This is my first post. Funny that I ended
up here. The urinary system is crazy,
isn't it? I go through years where I get a
bladder infection every couple months.
Fortunately I haven't had one since the
spring (knock on wood). I use poise pads
during that time so i don't have any
issues at work.
I know we aren't really supposed to
mention other Web sites, but the Depend
web site has lots of good info about the
topic of incontinence. (Beyond promoting
their own products I mean)
Also, the Incontinence Network has some
good info.
Also, I saw a good article about
incontinence on The Caregivers marketplace
Web site under their resources and links
area.
I don't think we can put links on these
posts so just look them all up in a google
search I guess. Good luck.
