That is, when we laugh, sneeze, cough or run for example, some women will have some leaking of urine and will note their underwear will be wet. We call that type of leaking “stress incontinence.” Sometimes a vaginal delivery can damage the muscles of what is known as the “pelvic floor” and sometimes women will notice that it is a problem when they are close to or after menopause. Kegel exercises are good if they are targeting the weakened muscles. Many muscle groups make up the pelvic floor. In order to know which exercises will help, a pelvic floor physiotherapist can provide that information. You wouldn’t do shoulder exercises for a knee injury. Why not make sure you are doing the right exercises to decrease the bladder leakage and be drier? Check with your private insurance plans to find out if you need a referral.
