Women deal with many different disorders than men do and one of the more common ones is Incontinence of urine.
This is a treatable problem with the main symptoms being urine leakage and frequency of urination.
It is hard to believe especially if you think you are the only one.
But estimates show that at least 14 million women in North America alone deal with incontinence of urine because of structural problems or simply an over active bladder.
One of the reasons that incontinence occurs is because the tube that the urine flows down through to the outside world loses the support of the vaginal walls.
Incontinence can happen for many reasons and have many causes.
The risk factors for incontinence are: smoking, pregnancy, obesity, stress, infection of the bladder and cystitis.
The symptoms for incontinence are leaking urine when you laugh, strain or cough.
On the other hand, an over active bladder whose symptoms are: frequent urination, leaking urine, wetting the bed and insomnia due to having to go pee all night long is caused by bladder stones, an old surgery and neurological disorders.
The health concerns for both are the same: old urine in your panties is a breeding ground for infection and you could get a bladder or kidney infection.
Not to mention local skin irritation and rashes.
Putting the health issues aside there is the psychological ones.
It is embarrassing to have to run to the toilet every ten minutes, it is embarrassing to wet your pants, it is more embarrassing to feel you smell like a urinal.
Women that deal with the emotional side of urinary incontinence will become depressed, moody, hide away from the world.
They will stop going to social activities and even go as far as to stop seeing their friends.
The most common cause of urinary incontinence combines three separate things: Childbirth, getting older and menopause.
You put those all together and you have a woman that pees her pants.
Let us start with childbirth.
The babies head pushes through the vagina and stretches some parts of the pelvic structure, most particularly, the vaginal walls.
Add to that you grow older and hit menopause age, a time when estrogen lessens and the vaginal walls thin and in doing so the urethral walls cant close as tightly.
All this works together to cause urinary incontinence.
There is no magic wand that you can pass over your body and fix this most embarrassing of problems, there are some things you can do to help the situation; you can wear pads and adult diapers to catch any urine spillage.
You can undergo a surgery to tighten up everything that has come lose.
If you get a bladder infection you can take antibiotics or some herbal remedies work well.
If you think it through and understand that most problems of urinary incontinence are caused by weak muscles then surely you can turn that around and say that strengthening those same muscles will cause the problem to go away or to at least become tolerable.
Yes pelvic muscles can be strengthened and yes they can become more toned, just like any muscle in your whole body can and yes it will help with the incontinence.
The exercises we are talking about even have a name.
They were named after the Doctor that who invented them.
Dr.
Kegel.
The exercises are called kegel and when you do them you are known to be kegeling.
These exercises were created to help woman get the tightness back in their vaginas after they had a baby.
It was later discovered that doing kegel exercises helped prevent spontaneous urination.
By kegeling you are tightening the same muscles that control the urine stream.
These muscles are easy to identify if you sit on the toilet and start then stop urination.
You should start your kegel exercises at 3 sets of 50 clinches, holding the clinch for 3-5 seconds.
After the muscles start to tighten and you are training them to stay tighter longer then you can increase them to 100clinches 3 times a day.
The best thing about the kegel crunch is that you can do it anywhere, anytime and no one will be made aware.
They are absolutely invisible.
They even have vagina weights to use while kegeling.
So women, get out there and kegel! They will help you control your flow of urine and the side benefit will be that it will tighten your vagina and improve your sex life!
