Stress Incontinence

You may have had a bit of stress incontinence over the last twenty or so years but if it wasn’t bad enough to be wearing a pad I suspect you never got around to doing anything about it. Suddenly it’s the menopause and things are much worse. Stress incontinence is discussed in much more detail in Chapter 3.

Frequency, Urgency and Urge Incontinence

The symptoms of frequency and urgency can be harder to deal with when your oestrogen levels are starting to drop, but don’t panic: there are still things you can do to improve the situation. But if you are reading this in your thirties, take note: it’s much easier to sort your pelvic floor out now while you still have all your oestrogen.

Due to the decrease in your oestrogen levels you can suddenly start having to run to the toilet. It might be after that double macchiato that you knew was a bad idea; it could be the sight of your front door at the end of a long busy day triggers an urgent need to pee, causing you to wince, cross your legs or hop up and down while you find your keys. You tell yourself it’s ridiculous, you only went an hour ago. But your bladder is having none of it and if you don’t get into the house fast disaster will strike.

On the other hand, this terrifying scenario of wetting your knickers on your doorstep is often the point when a lot of women realize they need to do something about it – I say this from all my years of experience. And that can only be a good thing.
