Let’s look at some basic reasons why you can’t keep dry

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when you leak with increased pressure in the abdomen, for example with a cough, a sneeze, or while bending over.
This is normally due to weak pelvic floor muscles or in some cases increased mobility of the bladder neck. Many persons with stress urinary incontinence also struggle to handle intra-abdominal pressure fluctuations due to decreased core muscle awareness and strength.

With urge urinary incontinence the bladder is pushing the urine out before you get to the toilet.
This can be due to over activity of the bladder.

In some instances the patient will have more than one type of leakage and that is referred to as mixed incontinence.

Leakage occurs when
• The pelvic floor muscles can’t keep the urine in; and/or
• The bladder squeezes the urine out before you have reached the toilet.

The bladder and the pelvic floor muscles work together closely as a team during filling and emptying  of the bladder

your #pelvicfloorPT can evaluate these conditions and design a treatment protocol  to help you #regaincontrol
