How to Manage Urinary Incontinence

How to Manage Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence refers to the uncontrollable passing of urine. If you suffer from this condition, these lifestyle tips of adult daycare in Baltimore, Maryland, can help you alleviate the symptoms:

  • Do pelvic floor exercises every day
    While you may only see changes after three months, doing daily pelvic floor exercises can help in reducing leaks. However, make sure that you do it properly.
  • Choose the right exercises for you
    Sit-ups or other high-impact exercises may not benefit you. To effectively reduce leaking, replace these exercises with aerobics, jogging, or even pilates.
  • Avoid lifting
    Apparently, this puts a strain on your pelvic floor muscles and thus increasing leakage. Should you have to lift, tighten your pelvic floor muscles first or let an adult medical daycare in Dundalk, Maryland, help.
  • Lose excess weight
    Being overweight also means an extra pressure of fatty tissues on the bladder and weak pelvic floor muscles, which then can result in incontinence. Most of the time, your symptoms may improve or eliminate when you lose excess weight.
  • Cut down on alcohol and caffeine
    Both alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, making you urinate more often and thus, making incontinence worse.

Caring Hands Adult Medical Daycare provides adult day services for you or your aging loved ones.
