Did you know that there is more than one type of urinary incontinence? If you suffer from urinary loss, watch this super explanatory video about the types of incontinence that exist. I divided it into 5 main groups: 1) Stress or effort incontinence: this is the most common type. It occurs when we make an abdominal effort, such as coughing, sneezing, or doing physical activity. To treat this type, we can use Kegel exercises (See how to do it step-by-step in the link: • Exercises to strengthen the abdominal ... ) 2) Urge incontinence: it occurs more commonly in older women. The main symptom is the frequent and urgent need to urinate, that is, the urge to urinate so great that sometimes there is no time to get to the bathroom. 3) Mixed incontinence: some women may have both types of incontinence above at the same time. That is why the treatment is multidisciplinary. 4) Overflow incontinence: occurs when the bladder becomes so full that we lose urine because it can no longer fit, and then it overflows. 5) Various related diseases: women after menopause may have urinary loss due to a lack of the hormone estrogen; urinary infections can also cause urinary loss, in addition to the various chronic diseases that can affect the urinary tract and cause the problem. Note that the assessment of urinary loss is complex and, depending on its type, treatment is individualized, from clinical treatment to even surgical treatment. Therefore, see your gynecologist!
