Thank you for putting this out here! There are so many of us that suffer from this in silence. Why wouldn’t we want to have a community to talk with?! I have incontinence now after having children. This biggest time it effects me is when I am playing sports. Does this happen to anyone else? I look forward to future posts…keep them coming!
No longer suffering in silence,
Jennifer

May 19th, 2008 at 10:41 amHi. I have issues when I cough or sneeze. I feel like so many people have this. Why are we embarrassed to talk about it? I applaud you for putting this post up. I have already learned so much. Thanks, Michelle NYC
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:34 pmHi. I have issues when I cough or sneeze. So many of us have this, so why doesn’t anyone talk about it? I have learned so much from this blog! I applaud you for posting it! Thanks, Michelle NYC
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:36 pmA great post! While pregnant, I had to hold my urine sometimes working as an RN, and it was terrible for me! I eventually went on bedrest and was able to work on my Kegal’s. I attribute having very little to no urinary incontinence to doing Kegal’s often
June 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pmI love this! You are correct! We should be proud of our bodies! I have incontinence too. It happens when I hold it too long, when I go running, and when I laugh or cough too hard. I love this post. It makes me feel better about all of the things that I have been feeling embarrassed about. Thank you for all of your posts! They are great!
June 11th, 2008 at 6:36 pmThis one is so funny and so true! Another great blog!
June 11th, 2008 at 6:37 pmI wish I would have had this information when I was pregnant! I had incontinence then and still do now.
June 11th, 2008 at 6:38 pmThere couldn’t be more truth than what you have written here. The wisdom in your question, “…what is there to be embarrassed about..”, says it all.
June 11th, 2008 at 11:59 pmI have found some great help in taking Marshmallow Root capsules. I buy them at Whole Foods Market. I take 3 capsules twice a day. It is like night and day for me. I had UI come from out of nowhere after menopause. Please try this herbal non toxic help. Marshmallow Root relaxes the bladder.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 amMarshmallow root? I have never heard of it. Is it a drink or pill? How does it relax the bladder?
June 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pmThis is great information. I have been dealing with this ever since I had my son. I find that it affects me in many things that I do. It is great to see one source that brings so much information. This post is really interesting. I never knew there were so many options for people like me.
June 27th, 2008 at 11:30 amGreat information. Important issues. You may want to edit this “About” page–”Many” instead of “Manny” and “assist” instead of “assit.” You’re doing great–keep up the good work!
June 30th, 2008 at 6:58 pmGreat post – this highlights some key facts about incontinence that few people are aware of.
July 2nd, 2008 at 1:40 amI’ve heard many moms can have this problem. The best way to fight it is to try and be prepared. They kegel exercises recommended are a great idea and also bringing a change of clothes or a sanitary napkin to clean up if it does happen.
January 4th, 2009 at 12:27 pmThank you for providing these excersizes and treatments for stress incontinence, As a seller of incontinence products, I know how common this problem is. Usually a simple Poise pad can take care of the problem, but I like the ways you’ve discussed to treat the symptom at the source.

January 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pmYou’re right, it’s not just the elderly. There are people of all ages with incontinence. Glad to see there are exercises being researched to help.

January 21st, 2009 at 5:05 pmYes, this is what we’ve believed all along, even a small decrease in weight in an overweight person can make a big difference. I hope there is continued research in this area.

WHAT? This article would have been better if you’d said WHAT they can do.
