Urinary incontinence - Causes, symptoms and treatment

Find out more about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for urinary incontinence offered by physical therapy, as well as the importance of strengthening the pelvic floor and how it relates to urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and pregnancy. This week we are joined by Lic. Mariana Castro, a physiotherapist with her clinic in Mexico City.

Lic. Castro provides insights into the different types of incontinence, from stress to urge incontinence and how a personalized physiotherapy program can greatly improve quality of life. We also address common myths, recommended exercises, and when it’s the right time to seek professional help.

Most common symptoms of urinary incontinence:

Bedwetting, inability to hold urine, strong urge to urinate, accidental leakage of urine, constant leakage of urine

This episode serves as a clear guide to understanding the pelvic floor’s role in overall health and how physiotherapy can be a key tool in both preventing and treating incontinence.
Treating urinary incontinence can be embarrassing for some people, that is why we share with you the White Noise Machine for training , which has 32 volume levels, 5 timers and 13 relaxing sounds while you do your reinforcement exercises.
