Preventing Incontinence

There are a number of tricks for reducing incontinence

Prevention is better than cure.
  • Regular pelvic floor exercises to strengthen these important muscles. This is particularly important in pregnancy, after childbirth or surgery to the area.
     
  • HRT may be advised for post-menopausal women who are vulnerable to continence problems.
     
  • Avoid heavy lifting which can damage the pelvic floor muscles
     
  • Avoid smoking. People who smoke are more likely to suffer from urge incontinence.
     
  • Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks which can irritate the bladder.
     
  • Do not cut down the amount of water you drink. This just makes urine more concentrated and more likely to irritate the bladder or result in a urinary tract infection.
     
  • Try restricting your fluid intake only in the last two to three hours before you go to bed.
     
  • Eat a balanced diet to prevent constipation.
     
  • Take regular exercise.
