Stress incontinence – a common condition among women

Many women are familiar with the problem: small amounts of urine leak during physical exertion, coughing, sneezing, or laughing.This form of incontinence is known as stress incontinence.Female anatomy plays a crucial role in this condition.Located in close proximity within the pelvis are the rectum and anus, the uterus and vagina, and the bladder and urethra.The pelvic floor—a muscular layer that closes off the pelvic cavity—is a key factor in the development of urinary incontinence.

In a healthy state, the pelvic floor is firm enough to support the pelvic organs.If the pelvic floor muscles weaken, they can no longer fulfill this supporting function.The pelvic organs descend, and the sealing ability of the urethral sphincter mechanism is impaired, leading to incontinence.This form of incontinence, resulting from pelvic floor weakness, is known as stress incontinence.

Why does the pelvic floor weaken?

Pregnancy and childbirth place the greatest strain on the pelvic floor muscles.The pelvic floor is subjected to increasing pressure from the enlarging uterus.During a vaginal delivery, these forces acting on the pelvic floor intensify significantly, potentially causing damage to the muscles.Other possible causes of stress incontinence include constant heavy physical labor that strains the lower abdomen, chronic constipation, hormonal deficiency during menopause, a constitutional weakness of the connective tissue, severe obesity, and general muscle loss associated with aging.

What can be done for stress incontinence?

Treatment for stress incontinence aims to keep the bladder, urethra, and sphincter muscle system in a stable, "sealable" position during situations of sudden physical exertion.Various treatment options exist, depending on the severity of the incontinence.Specialized pelvic floor training is recommended for mild incontinence.Menopausal women often experience estrogen deficiency, which can be corrected through hormone therapy.Surgery may also be considered in severe cases of incontinence.

Self-help tips

Pelvic floor training can easily be performed at home.Losing weight is advisable if you are overweight.In cases of chronic constipation, a doctor should implement measures to regulate bowel movements, as this can relieve strain on the pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor training exercises

Exercise 1: Sit upright on a stool and shift your weight onto the vaginal area.Exhale slowly and strongly contract your pelvic floor muscles.Count as you do so!Reaching a count of 10 is very good;15 would be excellent!

Exercise 2: Sit in a relaxed position, round your back, and push your pelvis forward.Exhale slowly and contract the pelvic floor by firmly squeezing together the area between the anus and the vagina.Hold the tension for as long as possible.Count as you do so!Inhale and release the tension.

Exercise 3: Lie on your back and place your feet hip-width apart.Tighten your buttocks firmly and gradually lift them off the floor.Breathe out slowly so that your diaphragm rises.This movement, together with the abdominal and back muscles, acts on the pelvic floor muscles - the pelvic floor closes.As you breathe in, lower your buttocks back to the floor and release the tension in the pelvic floor.

Important requirements

There are certain requirements that must be taken into account when training the pelvic floor.Patients must be motivated to carry out intensive pelvic floor exercises over a longer period of time.There must be no medical problems such as uterine prolapse in women.In the case of mixed stress/urge incontinence, drug therapy for urge incontinence is recommended at the same time.Men can often completely eliminate urine leakage after prostate cancer-OP through consistent pelvic floor training.

Advice and help for people with incontinence

Specialist societies, self-help associations and also commercial companies want to actively contribute to improving the living conditions of incontinent people.The offer is varied and can also be used anonymously.Those affected and their caring relatives can contact the various facilities directly with their questions and problems via the Internet or by telephone.
