Bladder Leaks After Menopause? Understanding Incontinence and Pelvic Floor Health
Episode Description
Do you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, exercise or rush to the toilet?
Many women assume bladder leakage is a normal part of ageing, having children or going through menopause. While it is common, it is not something you simply have to put up with.
In this episode, Women's Health Physiotherapist Roberta Bass explains:
- Why incontinence becomes more common during perimenopause and menopause
- The difference between stress incontinence and urge incontinence
- How hormones affect bladder and pelvic floor function
- Common bladder irritants that may be making symptoms worse
- Why pelvic floor exercises alone aren't always the answer
- The importance of getting an individual assessment
- Treatment options that may help
If bladder leakage is affecting your confidence, exercise, social life or quality of life, support is available.
