I will lose control of my urine when I sneeze

Everyone knows that sneezing is a sudden forceful act. Many people suffer from urinary incontinence due to sneezing. However, this type of urinary incontinence usually involves a small amount of urine, and only the elderly and children suffer from urinary incontinence when they sneeze. It is embarrassing to be outside. So what should you do if you suffer from urinary incontinence when you sneeze?

It is mainly stress urinary incontinence, and may also be accompanied by urinary tract infection. When the pressure in the abdomen increases, such as coughing, sneezing, and laughing, urine will leak out. Because the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis, the nerves related to the bladder function, and the sphincter of the bladder and urethra are injured, when the abdominal pressure increases (such as coughing, laughing, sneezing), the urine in the bladder cannot be controlled, resulting in urine flowing out.

For example, when women are pregnant or after childbirth, the muscles or local nerves of the pelvic floor are often injured, causing these muscles to relax, or when the nerves are injured and the command transmission pathways are problematic, this type of urinary incontinence often occurs. After menopause, the decrease in female hormones will also cause the muscles of the pelvic floor to relax, causing this type of urinary incontinence to be more common in women after menopause.

It is recommended to have surgical treatment when necessary, and do it more often in daily life. Strengthen pelvic floor exercises: tighten the anus and perineum and then relax them, strengthen the tension of the pelvic floor muscles and urethral muscles, stretch the urethra, increase urethral resistance, rise the bladder neck, and increase the ability to control urine. Check urine routine and ask a urologist for diagnosis and treatment

1. For mild to moderate patients, pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training can be performed, which is very helpful for strengthening the muscles in the urethra. Pelvic floor functional training is to consciously and rhythmically perform perineal muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, that is, to repeatedly contract the anus and perineum muscles as when urinating or defecating, thereby strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and improving women's ability to consciously control these muscles. Most patients with stress urinary incontinence have good results after correct pelvic floor training.

2. In addition, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment, and at the same time increase outdoor activities, strengthen physical exercise, improve physical fitness and body muscle strength, which is good for improving urethral muscle strength.

3. If conservative treatment fails or you cannot persist in treatment, you can consider surgery to relieve the pain. You should relax, reduce the psychological burden, and actively exercise. Generally, good results can be achieved after a period of exercise.
