What Causes Urinary Incontinence?
The first step in finding treatment for urinary incontinence is knowing why it happens. Here are some of the main reasons women experience incontinence:
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Pregnancy and childbirth can significantly weaken the pelvic floor muscles, leading to stress incontinence. The strain of carrying a baby and the trauma of delivery can damage the tissues and nerves that control the bladder.
Aging
As women age, the muscles in the bladder and urethra tend to weaken, which makes it harder to control urination. Aging also leads to reduced bladder capacity and increased frequency of urination.
Menopause
Hormonal changes during menopause, particularly the decrease in estrogen levels, can affect the lining of the urinary tract. Estrogen helps keep the bladder and urethra healthy, and its decline can result in leakage.
Medical Conditions
Chronic conditions such as diabetes can damage the nerves that control the bladder. Neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease can also interfere with bladder function and cause incontinence.
Lifestyle Factors
Obesity increases abdominal pressure and puts extra stress on the bladder. Smoking can lead to chronic coughing, which also stresses the bladder muscles. Certain medications may relax the bladder muscles, leading to leaks.
