1. Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence is more common in female patients, and involuntary urine leakage can occur during coughing or laughing. It is mainly related to the relaxation of pelvic floor muscles, which is easily caused by uterine prolapse after multiple deliveries. It is recommended that such people perform pelvic floor muscle exercises regularly and use estrogen ointment under the guidance of a doctor to improve the condition.
2. Urge Incontinence
Urge incontinence is commonly seen in conditions such as cystitis and neurogenic bladder. When the inflammation stimulates the bladder mucosa and surrounding organs, it may induce the occurrence of the above situation. At this time, it is necessary to take antibiotics prescribed by a doctor to treat the primary disease, such as Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules and Cefixime Dispersible Tablets. If there is obvious pain, pain relievers such as Ibuprofen Capsules or Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets can be taken to relieve discomfort.
3. Other Reasons
Some men may also experience this phenomenon, mainly due to prostate hyperplasia, which is one of the common diseases among elderly men. The typical manifestations are difficult urination and increased nocturia, which can even lead to urine retention in severe cases. Surgical resection can be adopted for treatment, and regular follow-up is required after surgery. In daily life, it is important to maintain good living habits, avoid excessive fatigue or staying up late, and pay attention to a reasonable diet, mainly consisting of light food, to reduce the intake of spicy and greasy food, in order not to affect the recovery of the disease.
