with his partner, a trickle of urine appears again and, of course, spoils the moment.
And if you think that stress incontinence is a problem only middle-aged and older women, it is not so. It is surprising, but younger women really stress incontinence during sex appears more likely than older women.
When incontinence occurs during intimate moments, women feel anxiety, even if they are in a strong marriage. It may even lead to sexual dysfunction.
The same trouble may occur during exercise, which could end unpleasant wet spot on his pants, which would significantly all around.
Stress urinary incontinence due to the weakness of the pelvic floor muscles
The problem is, whether it is stress incontinence during exercise or during sex, is the common denominator. Stress urinary incontinence due to the force of the pelvic floor muscles. The weaker the muscles, the greater the chance that you will manifest symptoms of stress incontinence - leakage of urine during physical stress such as, for example, sports exercises, sex, sneezing, laughing or jumping - in the absence of bladder contractions.
While many women experience occasional minor leakage at any age if they become more frequent, or interfere with your normal life, you should report them to your doctor. There are a number of very effective treatments for stress urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence is the most common cause of urinary incontinence in young women and the second most common cause in older women.
If you have had multiple pregnancies and childbirth your pelvic muscles and tissues may have been stretched and damaged. With age, muscles can weaken, even though stress incontinence is not an integral part of aging. Excess weight also can weaken the pelvic floor muscles and cause stress incontinence.
Kegel exercises can help
Strengthening the pelvic floor is crucial, and experts agree. One of the recommended ways - Kegel exercises.
First, some anatomy. In the lower part of the pelvis between the legs pass several layers of muscles attaching to the pelvis bone in the front, back and sides. If you imagine the muscles you use to stop the flow of urine, and it will be the very muscles that you need when performing Kegel exercises.
How can they do: Pull and squeeze the muscles as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine. You have to keep them in suspense for 10 seconds. Then relax for 10 seconds. How many times you need to repeat this exercise? Try 3-4 sets of 10 a day squeeze.
The attractiveness of Kegel exercises, is considered by many experts, it is that they can do at any time and almost anywhere - in the car or sitting at a desk or watching TV, or talking on the phone. No one will know what you're doing, if you do not tell them. But in order to perform these exercises properly, contact your doctor or nurse that they have told you exactly how to do them.
If you do Kegel exercises correctly and frequently, the leak should be reduced.
Typically, bladder control

improved after 6 to 12 weeks of daily Kegel exercises. But you may notice improvement in stress incontinence in a few weeks.
Kegel exercisers and vaginal weight
Another way to prevent stress urinary incontinence is the use of vaginal weight training equipment. Vaginal trainer can help you isolate the pelvic floor muscles, doing your Kegel exercises. They come in various sizes and inserted into the vagina with the help of the cone. As you progress you insert all the heavier loads.
Sets vaginal weight simulators are sold on the Internet and in pharmacies.
Biofeedback from stress incontinence
Biofeedback, as the name implies, uses the information to monitor and "feedback" with patients about the processes occurring in the body, including the control of the pelvic floor muscles.
During one study, which involved 14 women with stress urinary incontinence, 12-week program of pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback yielded positive results. The number of cases of diversion among study participants declined from about 8 to 2, 5 a day, the researchers report.
