The list of women I’ve trained who’ve pulled me aside to share their fear of peeing while jumping rope, running or doing squats is endless. Incontinence is a common problem affecting many women, often after experiencing the joys (ahhh, the joys) of childbirth. This video certainly shows the more extreme side of exercise induced urination, but we dig the strange pride they feel in their ummm…. accomplishment? Folks, we like this video because it shows that A. You’re not alone in your wet pants. B. There are things you can do to improve your situation.
Urinary incontinence isn’t an inevitable result of aging. Most women who have it can be helped or cured.
The best treatment depends on the cause of your incontinence and your personal preferences.
Treatments include:
• Behavioral training, such as bladder training and timed urination.
• Lifestyle changes and pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises.
• Medicines. For more information, see Medications.
• Medical devices.
• Surgery.
Behavioral training, exercises and lifestyle changes, and medicines are usually tried first. If the problem does not get better, your doctor may try another treatment or do more tests.
When there is more than one cause for incontinence, the most significant cause is treated first, followed by treatment for the secondary cause, if needed.
