(HealthNewsDigest.com)-If leaking urine has become a problem, you’re not alone. Millions of women have bladder control problems, but many of them keep it a secret and do not seek a doctor’s help.
What You Should Know
Though more common among older women, urine leakage can affect women of all ages. Being pregnant and having a baby, being overweight and having a urinary tract infection can all contribute to urine leakage. Coughing, sneezing or exercising can also cause urine leakage. The leaking can be mild or severe enough to have a serious effect on a woman’s daily life.
What To Do
The good news is that doctors can treat urine leakage. Treatment choices include losing weight, performing pelvic exercises, taking medicines and having surgery. Talking with a doctor is the first step toward fixing the problem.
