5 Signs of Incontinence You Shouldn't Ignore!

Incontinence is more common than you think, but many people suffer in silence, assuming it’s just part of aging, childbirth, or an active lifestyle. The truth is, leakage isn’t normal—and it’s treatable! Here are five signs that your bladder (or pelvic floor) might need some extra attention: 🙃

1️⃣ Leaking When You Laugh, Sneeze, or Exercise (Stress Incontinence): If you’re avoiding jumping, running, or even a good belly laugh because of leaks, it’s a sign your pelvic floor muscles need support.

2️⃣ Frequent Urges to Go (Urge Incontinence): Feeling like you constantly have to run to the bathroom? Urgency and overactive bladder can be frustrating and disruptive to daily life.

3️⃣ Waking Up to Pee Multiple Times a Night (Nocturia): Getting up once in the night may be normal, but if your sleep is regularly interrupted by bathroom trips, it’s time to see your pelvic floor therapist!

4️⃣ Going to the Bathroom More Than Usual (Increased Frequency): If you find yourself needing to urinate more than 8 times a day, it may indicate bladder dysfunction or pelvic floor imbalances.

5️⃣ Feeling Like You Haven’t Fully Emptied Your Bladder (Incomplete Emptying): Straining, hesitancy, or the sensation of incomplete emptying may indicate pelvic floor dysfunction.

The good news? Incontinence is treatable! 🙌Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you strengthen, retrain, and regain control over your bladder.
