Slim Down And Say Goodbye To Incontinence Products


Just around the same time women have menopause they experience urine leaks and the uncontrollable urge to go to the bathroom.

Is there a correlation between these two problems?

It is possible, but The New England Journal of Medicine has published an interesting report that provides some hope to women who are confronting incontinence.

The journal informs that losing weight can help relieve incontinence.

This surely must provide a ray of hope to women who primarily depend on incontinence products to protect themselves from embarrassing episodes.

The study published in The New England Journal of Medicine says women who lost an average eight kilos experienced a 47 percent reduction in weekly episodes of incontinence as compared to women in the control group.

An associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology is excited over the outcome of this study. She now says weight loss must be the first line of treatment for urinary incontinence.

If this works, is it goodbye to Incontinence Products?

It is as long as women keep tabs on their weight. According to the associate professor, “An increase in weight puts additional pressure on the pelvic floor and the bladder.”

So the recommendations for women with incontinence are:

•    Lose weight
•    Perform Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles
•    Reduce consumption of tea and coffee

A great thing about losing weight is you have other benefits too like improved lipid profile, better control over blood pressure, and sounder sleep.

A slimmer you can be a double whammy. No more incontinence products and bidding goodbye to those embarrassing leaks.
