Types of Bladder Control
Problems
Bladder control problems are classified into a
number of different types:
Stress Incontinence is
involuntary loss of urine when the abdomen is under stress, such as
coughing, or lifting.
Urge Incontinence is typically
experienced as a sudden, strong urge to urinate.
Mixed Incontinence is a
combination of urge and stress incontinence.
Overflow Incontinence is
typically experienced as a frequent dribble.
Reflex Incontinence occurs as
urine loss without warning, usually in people who have suffered nerve
damage.
Nocturnal Enuresis or Bedwetting
is incontinence that occurs during sleep.
Although bladder control problems are rarely
life threatening, they impose a huge psychological and social burden on
individuals, their families, and caregivers.
The KegelMaster 2000 can help in situations
where weak pelvic floor muscles are to blame in part or in full. This
is because it is highly effective at strengthening these muscles in
women.
