Vibrant Nation report reveals 5 keys to manage a leaking bladder or overactive bladder for women

Dec. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Many women experience overactive bladder, stress incontinence, or bladder weakness issues during menopause. Some experts theorize that estrogen plumps the lining of the bladder and urethra, and that lack of estrogen could contribute to bladder weakness. Pressure from coughing, sneezing, or lifting can push urine through the weakened muscle. This kind of leakage, called stress incontinence, is one of the most common kinds of bladder control problems in older women.

Now there is a free and reliable source of information about overactive bladder, stress incontinence, and bladder weakness. 5 keys to manage a leaking bladder or overactive bladder for women over 50 is a free publication from the editors of VibrantNation.com that provides the accurate and trustworthy information for proven relief from bladder control issues.

According to the National Association for Continence, one in five adults over 40 are affected by overactive bladder and women wait an average of 6.5 years to see a doctor for their overactive bladder, stress incontinence, or bladder weakness issues. Doctors may recommend bladder control exercises (pelvic floor exercises), like kegel exercises; or medications like Enablex, Sanctura, or Vesicare to help control your urge to urinate. They may suggest the use of protective incontinence pads like TENA Protective Underwear or Poise pads. Eventually, they may even prescribe urinary incontinence surgery or insertion of a pessary device.

While there are several medical solutions to consider, this report from Vibrant Nation addresses the most common fixes and ways to cope with a leaking bladder or overactive bladder, including surprising facts about foods and drinks that irritate your bladder, how to ensure you do Kegel exercises correctly, and how to train your bladder.
