Incontinence Fads and Fixes

Fad 
Drinking Less Water with Incontinence 
Many people with incontinence and leakage believe if they drink less water then they wont leakage, but that is far from the truth. Incontinence is leakage that occurs because of the loss of bladder control. This happens a lot in patients when they sneeze, cough, exercising, or exert any pressure to their bladder. When this happens, many patients believe they should drink less water to avoid the leakage, but it is actually the opposite of what you should do.
 
Fixes 
Drink More Water 
An easy way to help lessen leakage with incontinence is actually to drink more water instead of less. The body needs water to function and lessening water intake can actually irritate the bladder and make people feel the need to urinate more.
