A long run, during which the urine starts to run away. Joyous jumping on the trampoline, but the pee spills out without warning. Does it sound familiar? The approaching summer and lighter clothing only increase stress on the subject. Urinary incontinence is a familiar and unwanted phenomenon for many women.

Incontinence, i.e. urge to urinate or so-called weak bladder, is a condition in which bladder control is difficult. This, in turn, leads to the pee leaking uncontrollably. Familiar, and unpleasant.

Different types of urinary incontinence

There are different types of urinary incontinence.

In stress incontinence, pee spills out when you exert yourself, for example, when you sneeze or jump.

Urinary incontinence is when there is a strong need to urinate, and the urine escapes.

In mixed urinary incontinence, both of the above-mentioned symptoms occur.

Overflow incontinence refers to incontinence in which the bladder does not empty and the urine seems to overflow the bladder.

Urinary incontinence is also a common problem in younger women

It is a common misconception that urinary incontinence does not occur in young women, but is still thought to be a problem especially for older women.

However, urinary incontinence symptoms often begin after childbirth or with the hormonal changes caused by menopause.

Still, urinary incontinence is not only a problem for women who have given birth, for example, diabetes, overweight or many long-term diseases or injuries that affect the innervation of the bladder can weaken the contraction force of the bladder muscle.

Maintaining good physical condition and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles are important – especially during pregnancy and after childbirth. Still, the life lived is visible in the body and recovery can be slow.

Whatever the reason, it is important to raise this silent topic, because there are several products available for everyday life that offer help and relief.
