Both genders struggle with bladder leakage and it\u2019s not just a condition that older people suffer from.However, one demographic stands out above the rest. Women are more likely to suffer from incontinence, specifically what\u2019s called stress incontinence.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, women are twice as likely to struggle with incontinence as men.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Stress Incontinence?<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Learn more about N-Con Tonic\" href=\"\/recommends\/ncontonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stress incontinence<\/a>\u00a0occurs when the bladder is under pressure. It\u2019s experienced to varying degrees when someone coughs, sneezes, laughs, or jumps.<\/p>\n<p>It can also happen when someone lifts something heavy. Anytime the body contracts and puts additional pressure on the abdominal muscles and the bladder muscles, urine can leak.<\/p>\n<p>Stress incontinence occurs much more often in women. There are several reasons for this. The first is that there is a short distance between the bladder and the outside world. The urethra, the tube that urine travels through, is short in women.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s much longer in men, which means urine has further to travel. It\u2019s true that men who have had their prostate removed have a higher incidence of stress incontinence \u2013 perhaps because the prostate is no longer pressing on or impeding the urethra.<\/p>\n<p>Childbirth is another cause for\u00a0<a title=\"Dealing With Stress Incontinence\" href=\"\/dealing-with-stress-incontinence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stress incontinence.<\/a>\u00a0The pressure of labor and delivery along with the nine months of an additional weight sitting on the bladder, change the shape of the bladder.<\/p>\n<p>This can lead to an inability to completely empty the bladder. One sneeze shifts the bladder\u2019s contents and it leaks.<\/p>\n<p>Menopause has also been linked to an increased incidence of stress incontinence, as has weight gain.<\/p>\n<h3>So What Do You Do About It?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s not much fun to worry about leaking urine if you laugh or sneeze. The good news is that there are some basic remedies that can help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tampon \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Inserting a tampon into the vagina has been shown to help prevent stress incontinence. It supports the pelvic muscles and puts a little pressure on the urethra.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moderate fluid and caffeine intake \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re going to be active, consider moderating the amount of caffeine or fluids you take in before you exercise. You don\u2019t want to be dehydrated but you also don\u2019t have to drink a quart of water before you exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Also, caffeine is a diuretic which will make you have to urinate more often and more urgently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pelvic floor exercises \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Kegels is one exercise that you can perform anywhere. It\u2019s essentially tightening the muscles as if you were to try to hold your urine in. Release the muscles and tighten again. You can perform 50 of these each day.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Learn more about N-Con Tonic\" href=\"\/recommends\/ncontonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stress incontinence<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t any fun. However, in many cases it is manageable with a few minor lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also strengthen the muscles and try the tampon method. It does work quite well for minor to moderate stress incontinence.<\/p>\n<h3>Naturally Helping Incontinence<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/recommends\/NConTonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">N-Con Tonic<\/a>\u00a0is a natural, safe, effective herbal and homeopathic remedy that is a unique formula containing a combination of selected herbs and biochemic tissue salts well known for their toning and strengthening properties on the entire urinary system, prostate and pancreas.<\/p>\n<p>This formula is excellent for the elderly, for women after pregnancy, for people with spinal cord injuries, for stress incontinence and for anyone who has had repeated UTI infections which have weakened bladder functioning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/recommends\/NConTonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">N-Con Tonic<\/a>\u00a0also contains herbs which are well known for their strengthening effect on the immune system and can therefore help to prevent infections of all kinds, including recurring urinary tract infections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/recommends\/NConTonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">N-Con Tonic<\/a>\u00a0is safe to use during and after pregnancy and breastfeeding and will not interact with any other prescription medication.
