Treatment of urinary incontinence in women

Treatment of urinary incontinence in women

Female urinary incontinence is a common symptom. Female urinary incontinence can be divided into two types: stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence. When faced with symptoms such as female urinary incontinence, we must understand what causes the occurrence of female urinary incontinence, and whether we can prevent the occurrence of female urinary incontinence and provide appropriate treatment for female urinary incontinence.

Female urinary incontinence is related to many factors. For example, giving birth to multiple babies can easily lead to urinary incontinence. In addition, unstable hormone secretion and insufficient rest after childbirth can also lead to urinary incontinence. Below we introduce the treatment of urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Clinically, urinary incontinence is divided into true urinary incontinence and false urinary incontinence. True urinary incontinence is urinary incontinence caused by congenital abnormalities or trauma of the urethra. There is an obvious defect and it needs to be corrected by major surgery in the urology department, otherwise the urine flow will not stop.

Urinary incontinence in elderly women is mostly false, with partial urine overflow, and the symptoms worsen especially when standing, coughing, or exerting force. Why is this?

Due to the significant decrease in estrogen in elderly women, the support of the uterus, bladder, and urethra is also affected, causing them to shrink and weaken. Even those who were previously asymptomatic may develop stress urinary incontinence. Some people suffer from congenital insufficient bladder and urethral support, incomplete supporting tissues and nerve control. The symptoms are not obvious or very mild when they are young, but when they are older, due to the decrease of estrogen, urinary incontinence becomes obvious. In addition, some people have vaginal lacerations during difficult labor or assisted delivery, such as forceps delivery. The pelvic floor tissue cannot completely recover after delivery, the supporting tissue relaxes, the uterus prolapses, the bladder and urethra prolapse, the bladder neck also descends, the urethral opening cannot be completely closed, the urethra becomes short and wide, the pressure is reduced, and the bladder pressure cannot be controlled when exerting force or coughing.

Treatment: If the symptoms are severe, surgical repair can be performed to strengthen and shorten the supporting tissue of the uterus, reposition the uterus, and repair and tighten the tissue of the posterior wall of the urethra to restore the length and tension of the urethra, thereby greatly alleviating the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. Estrogen replacement therapy also improves urinary frequency and poor urination control. The Chinese patent medicine Buzhong Yiqi Pills combined with Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Jinkui Shenqi Pills are also effective for mild cases. Buzhong Yiqi Pills (concentrated pills), 10 pills each time, 2 to 3 times a day; Liuwei Dihuang Pills (concentrated pills), 10 pills each time, 2 to 3 times a day. In addition, attention should be paid to exclude urinary tract infection, because the bladder and urethral mucosa of elderly women are atrophied and susceptible to infection. If infection occurs, antibiotic treatment should be given in time.

Above we introduced what female urinary incontinence is. We know that this symptom of urinary incontinence brings great trouble to female friends. We introduced some factors that lead to urinary incontinence above. We should try to avoid these causes to effectively prevent urinary incontinence. The above also introduced how female urinary incontinence should be treated.
