Bladder Control Solutions
The occasional inability to hold one's urine (urinary incontinence) is not just an "old" person's condition. There are three types of incontinence: stress (leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing), urge (frequent and urgent need to urinate) and mixed. There are several non-surgical alternatives that can help this problem. 1. Lose weight - increased body body fat puts more pressure on the bladder. Studies show that if an overweight
and incontinent person loses just 5% of their body weight, incontinence incidents will decrease by more than half.
2. Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. These triggers can irritate the bladder, dull already weakened
muscles and increase urine output.
3. Take bladder supportive nutrients. Pumpkin seed extract (Cucurbita pepo), Varuna (an Ayurvedic herbal) and magnesium have all been found to be effective in significantly decreasing the frequency and severity of incontinence episodes. |
