Running is not just a form of exercise; for many, it’s a passion, a stress-reliever and a way to stay healthy both physically and mentally. However, urinary incontinence can often interrupt this joyous activity, causing embarrassment and frustration. If you’re someone who loves to run or used to run but had to stop due to urinary incontinence, Aguirre Specialty Care offers both non-surgical and surgical solutions that can help you reclaim your active lifestyle!
First, what is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is a common condition that involves uncontrollable urine leakage, which can occur during physical activities like running, sneezing or laughing, and is often caused by a weakened pelvic floor. There are different types of urinary incontinence, including:
- Stress incontinence: Leakage due to physical activity.
- Urge incontinence: The sudden and intense urge to urinate, resulting in leakage.
- Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence.
- Overflow incontinence: Leakage due to a full bladder that you can’t fully empty.
Here’s how we can help you get back on track:
