Lifestyle
and dietary changes
1. Avoid sugars,
artificial sweeteners and caffeine and alcohol, which promote rapid release of
urine. Ingest foods containing vitamin C. Cranberries prevent bacteria growth
in urine and prevent bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls. Fiber helps
by absorbing water.
2. Staying active and
maintaining weight control can be essential. One way or another, just get
moving - because many health problems, including urinary incontinence, are associated
with obesity and lack of activity. Studies have shown that weight loss can
greatly decrease overactive bladder.
3. Acupuncture can
strengthen the urogenital system, tone the pelvic muscles and increase blood
flow to the bladder. Acupuncture also boosts the immune system, diminishes
swelling, and keeps hormones in balance.
4. Drink plenty of
water every day in order to keep your urinary tract properly cleansed. Note:
You should not drink liquids right before bedtime and should also limit liquids
prior to physical activities.
5. For women, avoid
feminine deodorant products as they may be urinary tract irritants.
6. Until you get your
overactive bladder under control, wearing absorbent pads can help hide any
leakage that occurs.
