1 in 10 people suffers
from urinary incontinence, often referred to as “poor bladder cotrol”,
“overactive bladder” or “weak bladder”, urine leaks without
your control, or having difficulty to hold back the urge to urinate.
Those little leaks can exact a considerable toll on the quality of
life, interfering with work, social activities, and sex. Many suffer
in silence as they are too embarrassed to seek help, or they assume
it’s a natural part of the ageing process not knowing that without
intervention, this condition can only get worse!
Incontinence affects both men and women, young and old that becomes
amplified and more severe with advancing age. It’s a very common
problem with 53.1% of women and 29.9% of men exhibiting some
symptoms*.

Urinary
Problems In Men
- Weak urinary flow,
straining to urinate, dribbling, bladder still feeling full after
urinating, difficulty in postponing urination, and frequent urination
at night. These are common urinary problems affecting men.
- Although most urinary
problems in men are caused by BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or
prostate enlargement), many who are suffering from these conditions do
not necessarily have BPH. Other reasons causing incontinence –
weakening of pelvic floor muscles and a disorder recognized as
pollakiuria.
- Conventional treatment
that addresses only prostrate enlargement may not necessarily yield
satisfying results!
Incontinence
In Women
- Women are twice as
likely as men to have urinary incontinence due to hormonal changes (eg.
perimenopause, menopause), pregnancy, childbirth, constipation and
inactivity.
- Here are some of the
reasons:
- Stress and damage to
the pelvic floor muscles sustained during pregnancy and childbirth
- Weakening of urinary
sphincter with advancing age
- Loss of elasticity of
the pelvic floor muscles
Leading Cause of Incontinence
in Women
 When
the urinary sphincter and pelvic floor muscles lose their elasticity
and strength, any increase in abdominal pressure such as coughing,
sneezing, laughing, running or lifting of heavy objects can cause
leakage.
Other Causes Of
Incontinence
Chronic constipation, bad toilet habits such as straining and
postponing urination, being overweight, sedentary lifestyles, and some
medications, including those that lower blood pressure (anti-hypertensive
or alpha blockers) or sedative (sleeping pills), can interfere with
efficient bladder control.
