Is Urinary Incontinence Inevitable?

Urinary incontinence, which can affect one in two women after menopause, has two main causes. The first is the weakening of the anatomical support of the pelvic floor and bladder. This is known as stress incontinence and leads to involuntary urination. Patients may even experience leakage when sneezing or coughing. Many factors contribute to the development of stress incontinence: connective tissue disorders, genetic predisposition, having multiple deliveries, giving birth to large babies, delivering at home or experiencing difficult labor, chronic constipation, obesity, and menopause. The second cause is dysfunction of the bladder muscles, known as urge incontinence. This leads to overactive bladder syndrome. Often, a sudden urge to urinate causes leakage before reaching the toilet. However, with modern medical treatments, urinary incontinence is no longer considered inevitable. Through innovative treatment approaches and a detailed examination and history, a treatment roadmap can be created. If there is no need for pads or diapers, the condition can be treated with medications, Kegel exercises, or Botox injections. But if incontinence severely affects daily life, surgery may be required.
