Managing urinary incontinence during menopause involves several strategies:
- Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises to improve bladder control.
- Lifestyle Changes: Maintain a healthy weight and avoid bladder irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods.
- Bladder Training: Gradually increase the time between urinations to train your bladder and improve its capacity.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink adequate water to prevent bladder irritation, but avoid excessive fluid intake that can increase urgency.
- Medical Consultation: Seek advice from healthcare professionals who can provide treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or surgical options if necessary.
