In this post, we'll cover:<\/p>\n
Pregnant women have a necessity to urinate frequently. But, when it becomes difficult to control, that\u2019s when a woman can experience urinary leakage. To manage incontinence efficiently, it\u2019s best to do Kegel exercises, control your weight, change your diet, and avoid any consumables that affect your bladder control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause of such a problem is relatively simple. Every pregnant woman<\/a> can experience an increased blood flow to her kidneys from 35% to 60%. The bladder is equipped with nerves that send out signals to our brain. Such signals point out when the bladder is actually full. Then, the brain will send its own signals to notify the system that the bladder should be emptied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The signals and muscles work in sync, but when that blood flow is too much to handle, incontinence becomes difficult to manage<\/a>. The baby in the womb can put a lot of pressure on the canal (the urethra), bladder, and pelvic floor. The more pressure is applied to the organs and muscles, the harder it\u2019s to control urination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To manage urinary leakage as a pregnant woman, you first\u00a0have to\u00a0restore the strength to the pelvic muscles. Keeping these muscles fit can be useful for preventing unexpected urine leakage or stool passage. This can be achieved with regular Kegel exercises.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any type of food that causes constipation like gluten-foods, processed foods, dairy or milk products, fast foods, etc., will put a lot of stress on the pelvic floor. Acidic foods can aggravate the muscles. The more pressure you put on the pelvic floor, the more difficult it will be to control the urge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To manage urinary leakage with a diet, you need plenty of fiber in your meal. Fiber-rich foods will help the body absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat and help with digestion. They can relieve constipation, which is recognized for causing bladder issues. Also, try to consume enough omega-3 fatty acids since they have potent anti-inflammatory compounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of pressure is often responsible for uncontrollable urine leakage. To handle uncontrolled urine leakage, it\u2019s recommended that you keep moderate and healthy body weight. With a healthy weight, the bladder will have a much easier time to operate properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span>How to Train the Bladder <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIncontinence is a very embarrassing problem for plenty of pregnant women. It can affect them on an emotional and physical level. However, it\u2019s possible to manage the problem, and with the right exercises, diet, weight, and urinary control, it will be much easier to prevent it. With just a little bit of effort, you can achieve favorable results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ![\"Dr.](\"https:\/\/safesleepsystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Picture11-e1574099738510-150x150.jpg\" "\\"\\"") <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDr. Ahmed Zayed<\/strong>, MD holds a baccalaureate of Medicine and Surgery.
