5 Keys to Manage a Leaking Bladder or Overactive Bladder for Women Over 50

Louisville, KY, February 27, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Women often live with overactive bladder, stress incontinence, bladder weakness, leaking bladder, or the constant urge to urinate without seeking help from their doctors. Urinary incontinence and the problems that accompany bladder weakness — constantly having to interrupt visits, wanting to stay at home near a bathroom — may leave sufferers feeling isolated or depressed. They may feel so embarrassed that they don’t even want to bring up the subject with their doctors, or they may believe it’s a result of the aging process that can’t be fixed.

While aging and menopause may contribute to stress incontinence, overactive bladder, or general bladder weakness, loss of bladder control is very common, treatable, and sometimes even curable. You can also help ward off complications of urinary incontinence — like the development of bladder and kidney infections — by seeking help from your doctor.

Now there is a free and reliable source of information about overactive bladder, stress incontinence, and bladder weakness. 5 keys to manage a leaking bladder or overactive bladder for women over 50 is a free publication from the editors of VibrantNation.com that provides the accurate and trustworthy information for proven relief from bladder control issues.

Many women experience overactive bladder, stress incontinence, or bladder weakness issues during menopause. Some experts theorize that estrogen plumps the lining of the bladder and urethra, and that lack of estrogen could contribute to bladder weakness. Pressure from coughing, sneezing, or lifting can push urine through the weakened muscle. This kind of leakage, called stress incontinence, is one of the most common kinds of bladder control problems in older women.

According to the National Association for Continence, one in five adults over 40 are affected by overactive bladder and women wait an average of 6.5 years to see a doctor for their overactive bladder, stress incontinence, or bladder weakness issues. While there are several medical solutions to consider, this report from Vibrant Nation addresses the most common fixes and ways to cope with a leaking bladder or overactive bladder, including surprising facts about foods and drinks that irritate your bladder, how to ensure you do Kegel exercises correctly, and how to train your bladder.
