Female Incontinence


Urinary incontinence is the accidental release of urine. It can happen when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or jog. Bladder control problems are very common, especially among older adults. They usually do not cause major health problems, but they can be embarrassing.

There are many treatments available for incontinence. Some home care tips include:
Strengthening your pelvic muscles with "Kegel" exercises may lower your risk for incontinence.
If you smoke, think about quitting. Quitting may make you cough less, which may help with incontinence.

If you are having difficulty in quitting smoking nicotine replacement therapy can benefit you. Talk to your pharmacist to day to find out more details on quitting smoking and incontinence.
