Solving Bladder Leaks With A Women’s Health PT
Care to Avoid Bladder Leaks and Heal Your Core
Urinary leaking never has good timing. It’s inconsiderate and inconvenient. It may happen when you’re in the middle of the grocery store and can’t hold back a sneeze, maybe you’re finally out on the trampoline with your kids and all of a sudden notice you’re not as strong down there. Maybe you’re having a happy hour video chat with your gals and finally letting out a big laugh makes you let out something else… Maybe you’re doing 1,000 things these days to be a mom, work from home, stay connected with friends, and when you really need to go to the bathroom, you leak a little before making it there.
After having a baby (and sometimes before), dry undies can feel like a thing of the past.
Urinary leaking (also called “incontinence”) can happen as:
- A slow dribble or feeling of wetness throughout the day
- Small amount of pee with a cough/laugh/sneeze/jump
- Enough leaking to make you need to change your clothes
- You may need to wear a liner every day, or always have an extra pair of underwear in your bag
This type of leaking is super common, but it is not normal. A pelvic floor physical therapist can help you figure out how to gain better control of your pelvic floor muscles to stop this leaking from happening. And here’s a secret – it’s not just kegels!
Schedule an appointment in our North Liberty office or from the comfort of your home with out online telehealth sessions.
