Urinary incontinence is a symptom, usually of lax muscles tone, not a disease. It can ruin your social life, if you let it.
- Temporarily cut down on your fluids, particularly before going to bed.
- Avoid alcohol as is relaxes the sphincter muscle that controls the bladder.
- Avoid caffeine and grapefruit juice, as they are well known diuretics.
- Drink cranberry juice.
- Constipation can contribute to incontinence.
- Stop smoking. Nicotine irritates the bladder.
- Keep your weight under control.
- Empty your bladder regularly.
- Be prepared. Wear an absorbent pad or undergarment while you retrain your sphincter muscle.
