Urge Incontinence

Urge Incontinence

Urge incontinence occurs when you have a sudden desire to go to the bathroom due a very quick and powerful bladder contraction. This is sometimes followed by the involuntary loss of urine before you can make it to a toilet. Urge incontinence (UI)  is characterized by the need to go often throughout the day – especially at night (nocturia) – with small amounts of urine actually released. “Frequent” means more than 8x during the day and >2 at night. Enuresis (bed wetting) may also occur.

Dribbling After You Pee

Dribbling After You Pee

Overflow Incontinence occurs when your bladder doesn’t completely empty when you go to the bathroom. You may or may feel the urge *to go* with this type of incontinence. But it is very common for only small amounts of urine to be released throughout the day as your bladder refills- which means you go to the bathroom all the time because you aren’t really emptying.

It is normal for most people to go to the bathroom six to eight times per day – maybe more if you drink a lot of water. IT IS NOT NORMAL for you to go to the bathroom more than every 2 hours UNLESS you have something that causes Bladder Irritation.

So what is Bladder irritation? This is where the inside lining of the bladder (this inside lining closely resembles the inside of your mouth) gets irritated and causes the bladder to contract.

Stress & Your Pelvic Floor

,

Stress can present itself in a lot of different ways. It may mean racing thoughts or never feeling quite settled -- like you just don’t have enough bandwidth for everything going on. Stress can also externalize itself in your body. This may mean having tight muscles that never relax no matter how much you stretch them or stress headaches or not sleeping well. This almost ALWAYS hits your pelvic floor!
