But limiting fluids, especially before exercise, can help if youare dealing with stress incontinence.  Step 1.     Collect Information §      Repeatedchildbearing can weaken pelvic muscles. And some birthing situations make itmore likely.  §       Womenwho receive an epidural, or who deliver by C-section, are twice as likely tohave stress incontinence as they age.[1] §       Womenwho tuck their chin and hold their breath during the peak of a laborcontraction (coached pushing) give birth more quickly, but increase their riskof stress incontinence.[2] §       Stressincontinence is common after prostate surgery.  Step 2.     Engage the Energy Homeopathic remedies for those with stressincontinence include Causticum, Pulsatilla, and Belladona.The last is specific for women whose incontinence occurs after childbirth orsurgery.  Step 3.     Nourish and Tonify Absolutelynothing is as effective inrestoring tone to weakened muscles as exercise. Pelvic floor exercises/Kegelsare a must for any woman (or man) bothered by stress incontinence, prolapse, orjust a desire for stronger orgasms. Dr. Kegel referred to stress incontinenceas “pelvic fatigue syndrome.”  Step 4.     Stimulate/Sedate §      Womenwith stress incontinence who wear a tampon when they exercise staysignificantly drier.[3] §      Topicalvaginal estrogen cream may relieve your stress incontinence, especially ifmenopause aggravated it.   Step 5b.   Use Drugs Actually,don’t use drugs. With the possible exception of dulaxetine - an antidepressantwhich blocks re-uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the spinal cord, thusstimulating the nerve that contracts the urethral sphincter - prescriptiondrugs are not effective in relieving stress incontinence. “Getting help whensurgery is needed can be challenging, because female reproduction and urologyare separate medical specialties. Urologists know little more than the basicsabout female reproductive organs, while few doctors in either specialty knowmuch about treating middle-aged and older women.”[4]  Step 6.     Break and Enter §        Surgeryto resolve incontinence is neither easy nor always successful. If you do decideto go for it, a urogynecologist - someone who specializes in femaleurinary problems - is preferred.  §        Collageninjections, used to bulk up weakened bladder muscles, have to be repeated everysix months, can cause allergic reactions, and generally provide only partialrelief.  §        Trans-vaginal radio frequencies, applied by means of a thin probe inserted into the vaginaduring a minor surgical procedure, heat up and break down pelvic floor muscles,which heal tighter and more in control. Three-quarters of a group of 109 womenwho had the procedure were completely continent or had improved at the yearfollow-up.[5] §        Anew surgical option is so simple, it may revolutionize the treatment of stressincontinence. Under local anesthesia, a muscle biopsy is cut from the biceps.The myoblasts (cells) thus obtained are grown for six weeks until there are 60million of them. Injected into the muscle that controls the flow of urine, theyproliferate and rebuild the sphincter, restoring full bladder control in 90% ofthe women within 24 hours.[6],[7]Ferdinand Frauscher, MD, of Innsbruck, co-developer of the technique says: “The whole procedure … takes just 10-15minutes. It reverses the effects of aging …”[8]Most women (80%) retained complete bladder control for a year afterward;long-term data not available. §        Weight loss, even as a result of bariatric surgery, reduces the severity ofboth urinary and fecal incontinence.[9] §        Thinkhaving a C-section instead of a vaginal birth will protect you against laterincontinence? It won’t.[10],[11] §        Ahysterectomy may help - but only if you are already incontinent. In astudy of 1200 women, 89% of those with severe, and 62% of those with moderate,incontinence experienced improvement after a hysterectomy. However, 17% ofthose with mild or no prior incontinence experienced leakage in the year aftersurgery.[12]And a review of 30 years of journal articles found that, in general, middle-agedwomen with hysterectomies had a 60% higher risk of incontinence later in life.[13] §        Thetwo most common surgical corrections for weak pelvic muscles are the Burch andthe Sling. In one head-to-head study, at the two-year follow-up, 49% of thosewho had the simpler Burch - which uses stitches to lift the pelvic floor, likea face lift - were dry, as compared to 66% of those who had the more invasiveSling - in which a small piece of abdominal tissue is looped under the urethraand sewn onto the abdominal wall.[14] Everyone who is incontinent has weak muscles. The differenceis that those with stress incontinence “denythe problem, pay little attention to bladder signals, and are surprised when aslight physical exertion forces urine out of the bladder. The urge patient, onthe other hand, is preoccupied with bladder signals … and rushes to the toiletat the first signals.  …the brain learnsto stop inhibiting the reflexive contractions of the bladder …”Leslie Talcott, director of Perineometer Research Institute    Legal Disclaimer: Thiscontent is not intended to replace conventional medical treatment.
