Maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is important for everyone's wellbeing, including people like us who experience bladder leaks. Sometimes, engaging in physical activities such as running, walking, or cycling can trigger these leaks. But they don’t have to prevent you from being passionate about staying active and looking after your physical and mental wellbeing.
There are solutions that can help you effectively manage incontinence during exercise. Washable incontinence pants provide a discreet and comfortable way for you to stay active while addressing bladder control issues. These pants are designed to absorb light leaks, keeping you dry and confident throughout exercise.
So, let's see how you can regain control over your exercise routine.
What causes incontinence during exercise?
Bladder leaks can happen to anyone of any gender while exercising. They´re more common than you might think. But experiencing urinary incontinence while walking and exercising doesn’t need to disrupt your workout.
Understanding the causes behind stress incontinence during exercise is the first step in getting the support you need to stay active.
Stress incontinence and exercise
The most common type of incontinence triggered by exercise is stress incontinence. It occurs when there is an involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion or activities that pressure the bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
The relationship between physical exertion and stress incontinence lies in its impact on your pelvic floor. These muscles play a key role in supporting the bladder and urethra and controlling urine flow. When these muscles are weakened (often due to factors like ageing or hormonal changes), they may struggle to support your bladder properly during exercise.
The repeated impact and strain placed on your pelvic floor during activities can trigger stress incontinence symptoms. The increased abdominal pressure caused by these exercises can overwhelm the weakened pelvic floor muscles, resulting in urine leakage.
