Stress incontinence is one of the most common forms of incontinence that affect both men and women.
However, the cure for this condition can be as simple as performing Kegele exercises.
No drugs, no surgery, no drastic changes in lifestyle just 30 minutes a day of an exercise that you can do anywhere and does not require any special equipment.
Stress incontinence is caused when the muscles of the pelvic floor have either been damaged or have lost their tone and can no longer support the bladder properly or control the sphincter muscles.
The fact is the older we get the more we have to use our muscles, be it in our legs or arms, or they will lose tone.
The muscles in the pelvic floor are no different.
Kegel exercises are designed to basically perform isometric exercises that will strengthen and tone the muscles.
The biggest challenge is simply identifying the muscles that need to be worked.
The easiest way is to try and stop the flow of urine midstream.
When you do this you'll feel the muscles that you need to work on.
Kegel exercises call for contracting those muscles and holding them for ten seconds, rest for ten seconds, and then contract again.
These exercises are often recommended for women preparing to give birth.
Results are not overnight.
You may have to religiously perform three ten minute sessions each day to see a real change occur and that may yake as long as three months.
But the benefit is great.
Kegel exercise will end you stress incontinence and prevent a recurrence so long as you keep at them.
