Leaking urine while exercising??!


Question: Leaking urine while exercising!?!?
Ok so I had a baby about 10 months ago and leaked a little urine while I was pregnant {I know thats a little gross} But I started exercising again, a little over a month ago, and now am leaking while I exercise, I go to the bathroom before I start or sometimes during the exercising , and then if Im working out really hard I feel like Im peeing myself but I have only a little bit of urine leakage!. Is this normal!?!?!? Or should I have myself checked out!? Im not sure what to do, cause when I was pregnant I told the nurse practicioner at the office and she said it was normal during pregnancy and it was never again discussed but now 10 months later I leak while working out and am kinda curious as to why!?/!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hey, it's a very common thing, even after pregnancy!. I know that it can happen to women who are older, but if you just had a baby 10 mos ago then I'm assuming you're pretty young!. The pelvic/uterine muscles become weak after having a baby!. Also, if you are overweight, that can be factor as well!. I'm not exactly sure how common surgery is, but I know there is surgery, they also can inject collagen into you (somehow!?) I also heard that you can get a prescription for estrogen either by mouth or topical and that's supposed to help the problem!. I actually have had to deal with that as well unfortunately!. I had my son 18 mos ago, but I actually had some leakage before I was pregnant!. It just got worse after having a baby!. It's very embarassing, I know how you feel!. I actually leak not only during exercise but just when I got from sitting to standing, laughing, coughing, sneezing especially! It sucks! To keep yourself clean, I'd wear a pantiliner until you can get to the doc!. to talk about your options!. You also should try kegels, where you squeeze together your pelvic muscles for 10 sec!. then release, try doing it at least 4x a day, I've been doing that and it does help, also going to the bathroom every 2 hours helps!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
