Multiple Types of Incontinence
Incontinence is more than just peeing your pants when you sneeze or jump on a trampoline! There are multiple types of incontinence and each one should be treated differently since they all have slightly different causes.
Stress Incontinence: This is most likely what you picture when you hear incontinence! This type is leaking that occurs with some type of activity such as sneezing, coughing, running, and jumping.
Urge Incontinence: Getting a strong, sudden sensation that you have to get to the bathroom that seems to come out of nowhere is called urge incontinence. You may or may not leak while trying to get to the bathroom and you also may find yourself going to the bathroom more often.
Fecal Incontinence: Any leaking of feces or gas unwanted is considered fecal incontinence.
Mixed Incontinence: It is common to have a combination of the different types of incontinence and if you do, it is called mixed incontinence.
Causes of Incontinence
Incontinence can occur from weak pelvic floor muscles, but more often than not, from overactive (aka tight) pelvic floor muscles. Because of this,
doing kegels and pelvic floor exercises won’t help because it is like tightening an already tight muscle. Other causes include bladder irritants, bathroom and bladder habits, and impaired bladder signaling.
Luckily you don’t need to suffer from incontinence anymore! We help women stop suffering and get back to an active lifestyle
without needing bulky pads, expensive surgery, or doing hundreds of Kegels.
