Coping with Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a common problem that happens to almost everyone. Many people face the problem of urinary incontinence at some point in their life and seek a solution to this problem. However, in order to solve the problem of urinary incontinence and frequent urination, first of all, it is necessary to clearly investigate and determine the cause of urinary incontinence. This can be determined as a result of various tests performed by the physician.

Urinary incontinence is a condition that cannot be controlled and prevented in any way if left untreated. If the problem of urinary incontinence, which deeply affects the social life of many people, is always repeated, this problem is accepted as a medical problem. We can say that urinary incontinence, which occurs in both women and men, is much more severe in women. In addition, many patients hesitate to say that they have urinary incontinence and accept this as a normal situation. However, the repetition of frequent urination is a harbinger of a problem, if pregnancy is not the subject of the word. Frequent urination problem occurs in pregnant people. With the growth of the baby and the enlargement of the uterus, the pressure on the bladder increases and the person urinates more often. This is extremely normal. But in other cases, it is absolutely necessary to consult a specialist. There is no other technique for dealing with urinary incontinence.

What are the Types of Urinary Incontinence?

There are several types of urinary incontinence, depending on when and how the patient leaks. We can explain the types of urinary incontinence as follows.

Stress urinary incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence that people often encounter. Tension type urinary incontinence due to various reasons may occur in the following situations.

• Exercises such as running or jumping
• Coughing, laughing and sneezing
• heavy lifting

During these activities, the pressure inside the bladder increases. The urinary tract and/or the muscles that hold the urine cannot maintain their form against the increased bladder pressure and urinary incontinence occurs.

Urinary incontinence refers to the situation of urinary incontinence that occurs suddenly and with a heavy feeling of urgency that cannot be delayed. The muscles in the bladder contract, and even if the person wants to hold his urine, he can leak it.

Mixed urinary incontinence is urinary incontinence that can occur due to both tension and urgency.

How to Deal with Urinary Incontinence?

In order to cope with urinary incontinence, people who are faced with the problem of urinary incontinence should see a doctor. In this way, it is necessary to diagnose the cause of the problem and make a diagnosis accordingly. Otherwise, it is not possible to find an analysis of the problem. In case of being examined by a doctor, the doctor may request the following:

• The patient’s medical history and disease history
• physical examination
• bladder diary
• pad test
• Measuring the urine remaining in the bladder after urination
• urine test

As a result of the above-mentioned tests and other different tests if your physician wishes, the cause of urinary incontinence can be understood. In this direction, the physician can apply a treatment system with the diagnosis made to the patient. For example, while it is recommended to diet in the problem of frequent urination caused by obesity, antibiotic treatment is applied in the problem of frequent urination due to infections.
