In this article, we will cover the topic and highlight 3 essentials for active women with urinary incontinence!

WHAT IS FEMALE URINARY INCONTINENCE AND WHEN CAN IT APPEAR?

According to the Portuguese Urology Association, urinary incontinence is “a pathological situation that results from the inability to store and control urine output.

Thus, urinary incontinence can appear at any age, in the form of a transient or a prolonged episode over time.

However, its frequency increases with age, appearing mostly in women over 40, associated with physical changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

Considering genetic predisposition as a major risk factor, the probability of having urinary incontinence problems increases further as a result of several factors:

• overweight
• be a smoker
• suffer from constipation

TYPES OF URINARY INCONTINENCE AND ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS

Involuntary urine leakage takes on different intensities, from occasional small leaks to more severe and regular losses.

These symptoms result from the different types of urinary incontinence: stress, urge (overactive bladder), mixed, overflow, functional, or nocturnal enuresis. Stress incontinence and urge incontinence are the most recurrent cases.

Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms and treatment of urinary incontinence.
