INCONTINENCE
Asking yourself the following questions can change your life!!

• Are you experiencing urine leakage when you cough, sneeze, strain or laugh? Are you experiencing leakage when you run, jump, lift or stand up?
• Are you going to the restroom every 2-3 hours while you are awake?
• Are you getting up one or more times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom?
• Are you pregnant and experiencing leakage or getting ready to deliver?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions pelvic floor strengthening and bladder retraining can help you get control of your bladder and your life.
What is the Kegel exercise?
Kegel exercises strengthen muscles of the pelvic floor responsible for maintaining bladder continence.
Your physical therapist will take time to help you isolate and identify the muscles of your pelvic floor. Often a few visits will be all you need to start on your independent strengthening program.
Kegel exercises are recommended during pregnancy. Well-toned pelvic floor muscles can make you more comfortable as your due date approaches. You will be less likely to develop urine leakage and hemorrhoids — both common near the end of pregnancy and prone to persist long after you’ve given birth.

Biofeedback can help.
If you have trouble doing Kegel exercises, biofeedback training will help. In a biofeedback session you will insert a small monitoring probe into your vagina. When you contract your pelvic floor muscles, you’ll see a measurement on a monitor and hear a beep that lets you know whether you’ve successfully contracted the right muscles. You’ll also be able to see how long you hold the contraction.
