Posted by albanylaser on December 28th, 2020

Not having bladder control and having a sudden urge to pee is not something unheard of. What is uncommon is the confidence to be vocal about the problem. Understanding and discussing it with the doctor can save you a lot of trouble and unnecessary distress.

What do you mean by bladder control problems?

The bladder control problem is also known as urine leakage, urinary incontinence, or urine loss. It is a condition that affects the way a person can hold or release urine. Apart from affecting a person’s quality of life, it can lead to awkward and discomforting situations at times. Thus, instead of hiding and living with it, you must talk to gynecologists, urologists, or geriatricians who can advise the plan of treatment for dealing with bladder problems.

What are the different kinds of bladder control problems?

Stress incontinence: When there is pressure on the bladder due to any sort of physical activity like be laughing, coughing, sneezing, or running, and results in urine leakage, this is termed as stress incontinence.

Reflex incontinence: In case the bladder nerves are damaged and don’t send a proper signal to the brain, then the condition is called reflex incontinence. It is also known as unconscious or unaware incontinence.

Urgency Incontinence: When a person is not able to control the urine and leaks before reaching the toilet, the condition is known as urgency incontinence. This generally happens when the bladder nerves and muscles don’t work in tandem with each other.

Functional incontinence: If a person is not able to go to the toilet because of the physical ailment he/she is in, the problem falls under this category. For instance, someone sitting in a wheelchair or someone who is an arthritis patient can be a patient of functional incontinence.

Overflow incontinence: This condition surfaces when the bladder doesn’t empty and the urine stays in it causing the bladder to stay up to the brim.

Temporary incontinence: In case a woman is pregnant or there is someone who is having a temporary illness, then a temporary loss of control on the bladder can cause urine leakage.

How to have bladder control?

Getting to the root cause of any problem can help in getting excellent results and the same holds true if one wants to deal with the problem of urine leakage. Reducing weight, eating medicines, and going for surgery to develop bladder control are some of the options and in addition to this, bladder control can be achieved by Votiva which is a vaginal tightening machine that rejuvenates the vagina by using radiofrequency energy.
