Reasons Behind Urinary Incontinence In Adults

One of the most common and embarrassing problems for an elder person is urinary incontinence or loss of bladder control. About 17% of older men and 30% of older women get affected from Urinary Incontinence. When pelvic muscles and muscles around the bladder stop working, urine can leak, resulting in urinary incontinence.


Despite the fact that there are effective treatments for this issue, elder people most often choose not to seek medical help because of embarrassment or belief about urinary incontinence as a normal part of aging.

There are many reasons that can cause urinary incontinence in older people. Some of the reasons include -
OLD AGE -
As we grow old, our bladder becomes overactive or weak, which may be caused by the weak or ineffective working of muscles around the bladder, causing urine leakage.


CONSTIPATION -


The elderly may have trouble chewing and swallowing, which mostly leads to indigestion and constipation. Also, due to difficulty in frequent bathroom visits, some older people do not drink enough water, causing constipation and straining the bladder, and impacting the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in unintentional pee leaks.


URINARY TRACT INFECTION -


A medical disease like a urinary tract infection, which is simple to cure, may also be the cause of urinary incontinence. Sometimes, infections can irritate your bladder, resulting in intense urination desires and, occasionally, incontinence.


Some other reasons that may cause urinary incontinence include -
* Weak pelvic floor muscles.
* Weak bladder or overactive bladder.
* Diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's, arthritis, and pelvic organ prolapse.
* Too much consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.
* Consumption of artificial sweeteners.
* Vaginal or prostate infection.


It is possible to treat urinary incontinence. However, many individuals think about concealing it and suffer alone. It would always be a wise decision to consult your healthcare professional to get the proper treatment and cure as soon as possible.
