Various problems arise when the pelvic floor, which represents the muscles, ligaments and nerves that support the organs located in the pelvis, namely the bladder, uterus vagina and rectum from below, cannot fulfill its functions.

In this case if the support of the pelvis is impaired;

-Bladder or bowel control is impaired.
-Urinary or fecal incontinence may be observed.
-Sagging of the pelvic organs may occur.
-Difficulty may occur during urination.
-Severe pelvic pain may develop.
-Sexual problems and dysfunction may occur.

There are two reasons for urinary incontinence, which can be seen in one of every two women after menopause. The first is the weakening of the anatomical support of the pelvic floor and bladder. This condition is called stress urinary incontinence and the act of urination occurs involuntarily. Sometimes patients may even urinate while sneezing or coughing.

Many factors play a decisive role in the development of stress urinary incontinence. These include genetic predisposition to connective tissue diseases, multiple births, childbirth above normal weight, home or difficult childbirth, prolonged constipation, overweight and menopause.

The second cause of urinary incontinence is impaired bladder muscle function. This is known as urge urinary incontinence. In this case, overactive bladder syndrome occurs. Most of the time, due to the sudden urge to urinate, people may leak urine before reaching the toilet.

However, urinary incontinence is no longer a fate with modern medical methods. With innovative treatment approaches, a road map can be determined by examination and detailed anamnesis.

If there is no need to use pads or diapers, this condition can be treated with medication, kegel exercises and botox. However, if urinary incontinence directly affects the person’s life, surgical operation may be required.
