Why Use Natural Menopause Bladder Leaks Treatment?
Our Menopause Expert Doctor at Almasi Skincare offers natural menopause bladder leaks treatment that does not use HRT (hormone replacement therapy) because the side effects of hormone replacement therapy include developing breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary thrombosis, breast pain, vaginal bleeding, gall bladder disease, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headache, mood changes, muscle cramps, skin rash, itchy skin, hives, and allergic reactions.
Consequently, our natural menopause bladder leaks treatment does not use HRT. It uses nutrition, supplements and lifestyle modifications.

What Causes Menopause Bladder Leaks?
Declining estrogen levels can cause thinning of the urethra lining. Aging causes weakening of the surrounding pelvic muscles. The combination of these two factors causes bladder leaks. These bladder leaks can occur when coughing, sneezing or exercising. Menopause also increases urge incontinence which is a sudden and intense urge to urinate.
Natural Menopause Bladder Leaks Treatment
To treat menopause bladder leaks naturally, do the following:
Use panty liners
Use panty liners that are made for bladder leaks like Rael Organic Cotton Liners for Bladder Leaks because they are 3 times more absorbent than period liners. They have leak locker technology designed to trap fluids and keep you dry no matter how active your may be. These thin and soft panty liners are made from 100% certified organic cotton to provide breathable freshness. They do not contain toxins, chlorine, pesticides, and fragrance which makes them safe for all skin types and sensitivities.
.
Do pelvic floor exercises
Do pelvic floor exercises or Kegel exercises every day. To do Kegel exercises contract the muscles you use to stop urination and hold for 5 seconds and relax for 5 seconds. Gradually increase the amount of time your contract the muscles to 10 seconds. Then increase the repetitions of the 10 second contractions until you are doing 10 repetitions. Finally increase the frequency until you are doing 10 repetitions of 10 second contractions 3 times a day.
Practice yoga
A study found that yoga reduced urogenital symptoms of menopause. Therefore, practice yoga regularly.
Keep a bladder diary
Keep a bladder diary and record how much fluids you drink, when you urinate, the amount of urine you produce, whether you had an urge to urinate and the number of incontinence episodes.
Do bladder training
Do bladder training by delaying urination after you get the urge to urinate. Start by delaying urination by 10 minutes and then progressively increase the time until you are going to the toilet after every 3 hours. Combine this with making scheduled toilet trips after every 3 hours instead of waiting until you get the urge to go.
Stop smoking
Stop smoking since it causes coughing which strains the pelvic floor muscles.

.
Avoid high impact exercises
Avoid high impact exercises like jogging and aerobics since they put pressure on the pelvic floor muscles which can increase leaks. Do strengthening exercises like Pilates which strengthens the core muscles. Sit-ups are also not a good choice since they also put pressure on the pelvic floor.
Loose excess body weight
Loose excess body weight since the pressure of the fatty tissue on the bladder can cause incontinence. Loosing excess weight can reduce or stop the bladder leaks completely. To do this you can follow a Mediterranean diet since studies have shown that a Mediterranean diet can result in weight loss. Therefore, eat a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, wholegrains and healthy fats from avocados and olive oil.

Avoid lifting

Avoid straining in the toilet

Avoid caffeine
Avoid caffeine since it irritates the bladder and can make incontinence worse.
Avoid alcohol
Avoid alcohol since it irritates the bladder and can make incontinence worse.
Avoid spicy foods
