Dr Oz Jill Rabin Incontinence
1. Stress incontinence - Leaking with a cough, sneeze, or other kind of physical exertion such as heavy lifting.
2. Urge incontinence - A sudden, strong urge to go and, often, an inability to make it to the toilet.
3. Mixed incontinence - The most common kind of incontinence in women combines both stress and urge incontinence and doctors are unsure of the cause.
4. Spraying during urination - Rather than coming out in a steady stream that can be aimed into a toilet, their urine sprays (kind of like when you put your thumb over the garden hose), wetting clothes, or even the bathroom. It may be muscles surrounding the urethra are too tight or there is a small growth at the end of the urethra called a caruncle, which is often found in postmenopausal women.
Tara joined Dr Oz today to talk with Dr Jill Rabin about her secret problem with spraying urine when she pee's. She cannot use public washrooms, because when she urinates, her urine sprays everywhere, down her legs, her clothes and the bathroom floor. Dr Rabin recommended Vaginal Cones, they are individual weights that you insert into the vagina that you leave in for 30 minutes a day. You do this until you can hold that weight for the 30 minutes, then you move up to the second weight and so on until you can hold the fourth weight without it slipping out for the full 30 minutes.
What Can Be Done For Urinary Incontinence
1. Kegel exercises - contracting your pelvic floor (the same muscles you use if you try to stop your urine mid-flow) throughout the day to strengthen them.
2. Vaginal weight training - the use of vaginal weights in the shape of cones that you must hold in while you go about your daily business, working up to 30 minutes a day. As your muscles strengthen, you increase the weights.
3. Behavioral therapy - Set times for going to the bathroom
4. Medication, Physical therapy, Hormone cream (for caruncles), Surgery to place a supportive sling under the urethra, help keep the bladder in its proper place, or bulk up the urethra to narrow the opening that urine flows through.
