Incontinence Relief
Loss of involuntary control of bowel movement or urine at the wrong time and wrong place.
Incontinence is not a disease but a symptom or a sign of other medical conditions; there are many conditions that can cause incontinence.
Bowel incontinence can happen as a result to injuries to the pelvic area, spinal injuries, hormone imbalances, crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Urinary incontinence can happen most often due to difficult labour, obstetric injuries, pregnancy, changes in estrogen during menopause . Urinary incontinence is most common in the female population, although men with prostate enlargement can experience it as well.
The pelvic floor muscles are the most common affected. In some cases, damage to the pudental nerves in the pelvic area can cause loss of function but it can also happen in some cases of spinal injuries.
Stress urinary incontinence is the most common, and it can occur when there is increase in intra- abdominal pressure during laughing, coughing, sneezing, exercising and lifting. Some risk factors for incontinence is obesity, pregnancy and old age.
Incontinence can be managed in some cases with prescribed medication , surgery and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urination.
Osteopathy can help to resolve, manage, or relieve incontinence issues, by releasing pressure in spinal and pelvic nerves that control these functions, releasing restrictions in the pelvic and coccyx, and in internal pelvic organs like the bladder, uterus, prostate, and external pelvic organs like the kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, peritoneum, mesentery root. Balancing the whole body in structure and function.
