What is the best treatment to prevent Urinary Incontinence?

The Best Non-Invasive Treatment to Prevent Urinary Incontinence

You have an active lifestyle, and you don’t have time for interruptions. Unfortunately, urinary incontinence is a common problem for women. According to Dr. Shirin Lakhani from Elite Aesthetics, “30% of people in their 20s and 30s experience some form of urinary incontinence.”^[1] It’s a women’s problem that needs to be talked about more because it can strike unplanned and unexpectedly.

According to Women’s Health Magazine, urinary incontinence comes in four forms: stress, urge, mixed, and overflow. Stress incontinence comes from strenuous activity or sudden pressure on the abdomen, anywhere from a sneeze to a Crossfit workout. Urge incontinence is when you have a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, but you leak if you don’t make it, “even if your bladder isn’t full”.^[1] Mixed incontinence is combination of stress and urge. A rarer but equally important case, overflow incontinence arises when you can’t register that your bladder is full because of a neurological condition.
