Incontinence has always been considered a "woman" situation, even if men are affected. However, more women do have bladder weakness, mainly because of the trauma their bodies experience during pregnancy and childbirth. Due to the strictness of birth, the muscles of the pelvic floor are often stretched, damaged or weakened.
This does not mean that a woman has a problem of temperance immediately after giving birth [although she may do so], but she is highly likely to have stress or urge incontinence downstream.
Stress urinary incontinence is quite common, and stress urinary incontinence occurs when the muscles supporting and protecting the bladder are damaged. When this happens, the bladder becomes susceptible to external stress, and even simple sneezing can cause unintentional flow of urine. In addition, if the bladder is not properly supported, it may fold onto itself or be "collided" by another organ, causing stress that causes problems. This condition can be controlled by diet and exercise therapy.
Urgent incontinence is when you go absolutely and actively, you can't hold back. There are many factors in this situation, including stroke, bladder infection, bladder stones, spinal cord injury, and urinary tract infections. This is usually treated with drugs.
However, there is a new hope that contraceptives may be a way to minimize these forms of incontinence. A study conducted by a Swedish health organization surveyed women between the ages of 21 and 45 to determine whether contraceptives or hormones that release the IUD have an effect on bladder weakness. After adjusting for weight, pregnancy and other factors, women who took birth control pills were 43% less likely to have stress urinary incontinence than women who did not use contraception, and 63% were less likely to have urinary incontinence.
Surprisingly, there is no difference between women who use IUDs and women who do not use IUDs.
This study presents another consideration that should be discussed with your doctor to prevent bladder weakness.
