The Pelvic Floor & Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles, which play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence. There are three types of urinary incontinence: 1. Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. 2. Urge is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently. 3. Mixed incontinence is a combination of both. There are non-invasive treatments available for urinary incontinence, such as High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic® technology, that lift the pelvic floor.
Reach Your Potential and Invest in Self Care
When you are on an airplane, the flight attendant always tells you to put on your mask before helping anyone else. Why? Because you are no good to anyone else if you aren’t well. The same goes for everyday life. If you want to reach your potential, invest in self-care. Here are two tips. 1) Schedule YOU time in your calendar as if it were an important meeting. Start with once a week and eventually, try for once a day. 2) Use that YOU time to do anything that helps YOU be well. Take a bath, read a book, watch a show, go for a walk, or, practice mindfulness.
