Urinary Incontinence in Women
• Incontinence (Urinary Leakage) is the involuntary inability of women to hold or leak urine.
It is defined. Approximately 40-60% of postpartum women over the age of 40 experience urinary incontinence. However, some women are unable to fully express these complaints and are too shy and embarrassed to consult a physician. Incontinence symptoms progressively worsen and progress with age and time. Delaying the diagnosis and treatment of incontinence reduces the success rate of subsequent treatment or surgery. In other words, the earlier it is diagnosed and treated, the higher the success rate.
Causes of Urinary Incontinence in Women
The most common causes of urinary incontinence are:
• Difficult births include births with interventions and multiple births. Those who have had two or more births have a very high rate of urinary incontinence and vaginal damage. In other words, complaints of urinary incontinence and the possibility of vaginal prolapse are more common in those who have given birth multiple times. Vaginal births are particularly unsuitable for women with narrow birth canals.
• Some women think that urinary incontinence is normal and a result of aging.
They can't even tell their relatives and endure these annoying complaints for years.
For this reason, their social lives and psychology are damaged. They move away from society and withdraw into themselves.
In conclusion :
Women with urinary incontinence complaints should consult a physician in a timely manner.
Urinary incontinence isn't a fate. It's often treatable. Just don't delay.
