Incontinence- The Problem No One Wants to Talk About

by GiGi

Urinary Incontinence – it’s a condition that affects 16 million American women, most of them are over 40. Yet who wants to talk about it? It’s just something you quietly endure because it’s part of the aging process, right? Especially if you’ve had children.

It has been getting more press lately and there are more surgeries being done for those women with extreme problems. There is also a growing list of prescription drugs you can take.

Are there any natural remedies for incontinence?

Yes, Kegel exercises being the most common. If you’re unfamiliar with Kegel exercises, here’s a brief tutorial: Kegel Exercises. It usually takes about 6 weeks of consistent exercise to see results, so try incorporating them into your regular exercise program or find a way to remind yourself to do them. Besides helping with your incontinence, Kegels may also help with your sex life!

There’s also a product out made with Chinese herbs. It has quite an extensive list of herbs – things like Asian ginseng root, Dong quai root and Cassia bark. You can see the whole list on the website. It’s called Better Woman.

Apparently, they did a study of 45 women who used the product for 2 months. There was a noticeable improvement (73%-80%) in their symptoms. Plus, it had the side benefit of giving them a “mental boost” and/or more energy. This is because the herbs also work on improving circulation and hormone balance.

What does this have to do with anti aging?

The reason we start an anti aging program is to feel better and be able to live a more active lifestyle. If you have a problem that’s causing you embarrassment and keeping you from enjoying that active lifestyle, then you need to find a way to fix that problem. Not dealing with incontinence can affect your sleeping patterns, intimacy, activities and even lead to depression.
