Incontinence Affects One in Three Women
It is often hard to know what is "normal" or "abnormal" when it comes to toileting habits. These questions may help.
- Do you go to the toilet more than 8 times per day ?
- Do you need urinate more than 2 times per night ?
- Do you leak urine when you cough, sneeze, lift, laugh or with exercise ?
- Do you find you cannot control the passing of wind ?
- Do you pass water with excessive stopping and starting ?
- Do you feel an urgent need to empty your bladder or bowel ?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you may be suffering from incontinence.
At Rehabilitation Clinic, we have women's health physiotherapists who can provide assessment and treatment in the management of conditions unique to women. Our women's health physiotherapy assessment may involve an internal vaginal examination which can allow the physiotherapist to properly assess any weakness, spasm or change to your pelvic floor muscles, thus to plan and provide individual pelvic floor training exercises, self-management strategies and education to you.
