| What
is incontinence and can it be cured? |
Incontinence
is an involuntary leakage of urine, which may be termed
as stress, urge or overflow. Incontinence is not a disease,
but a condition that can be cured with a combination of
behavior modification, exercise, medication and/or surgery. |
| When
I sneeze, laugh or lift a heavy object, I “leak.”
Is this normal? |
Nearly
one in four women ages 30 to 59 suffer from stress incontinence
caused by pregnancy, childbirth, stress, menopause or
age. Weak pelvic floor muscles need proper exercise to
be restrengthened. |
