#stress incontinence

[fall-and-shadows]

This is also a common issue for women with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Because of the frequent pain, women with these conditions often do not fully relax their pelvic floor, leading to muscle weakness and incontinence over time. Here's an exercise I was given by my pelvic floor therapist that has helped me relax and strengthen my pelvic floor:

Laura Gallagher Cox remembers the moment as if it was yesterday. She was 15, competing at a national trampolining meet, and putting the final touches to the routine she would perform minutes later.

Out of nowhere, as she landed from a jump, she wet herself.

“It completely destroyed my warm-up,” reflects the Briton, 32. “I felt embarrassed. I went to the loo and sorted myself out and changed my leotard. People probably knew what had happened.”

Unknown to her at the time, it was Gallagher Cox’s first real experience of stress incontinence, the accidental loss of urine through physical exertion.

In female athletes, the problem commonly occurs when the pelvic floor – a group of muscles and ligaments with important functions, such as pelvic-organ support – is damaged over time. It commonly occurs in athletes from high-impact sports that involve running, or jumping as in netball or gymnastics, where constant and excessive downward pressure is placed on the pelvic floor to the extent it becomes too tight.

The issue is particularly endemic in trampolining, where research has shown incontinence to be prevalent in as many as 80 per cent of female athletes.

“When we land from a jump, we put about 16 times our body weight through the trampoline,” explains Gallagher Cox. “In terms of peeing, the worst time for it seems to be the younger girls just coming into puberty. I’ve been at competitions where I’ve seen girls pee as they take off – when they do a double back somersault you’ll genuinely see urine flying through the air.”

Gallagher Cox, who represented Great Britain at last summer’s Tokyo Olympics, counts herself as one of the lucky ones – incontinence never became a real problem during her senior career. But the humiliation of leaking as a junior has left a psychological impact that verges on unhealthy.

“I go to the loo about five times per session,” she says. “I don’t drink very much during training, so when I get advice from the nutritionist and you have to drink X amount or this type of drink and you’re like, I just can’t do that.”

Her British team-mate Izzy Songhurst started experiencing incontinence issues aged 13. More than a decade later, she still wears pads in her leotard, and can go through as many as four in a session. “If you’re having a bad day, you do worry about whether your pad is showing through the back of your leotard or if it’s coming out the side,” says Songhurst, a former European and world junior champion. “It causes a bit of uncomfortableness and anxiety, which can obviously be distracting and can throw you off.”

Urinary incontinence is often talked about in the context of pregnancy and childbirth, which can weaken a woman’s pelvic floor. But, such is the taboo around leaking, it is rarely discussed in the context of elite sport, let alone in wider society.

When a photographer captured France’s 2004 Olympic gymnastics champion Emilie Le Pennec urinating during the World Championships in 2005, the images ended up plastered across porn and fetish websites. The same fate happened to Ecuadorian weightlifter Maria Alexandra Escobar Guerrero, who leaked while attempting a lift at the London 2012 Olympics. Instead of prompting a frank and open discussion about sportswomen being at risk of incontinence, both were ridiculed in the media.

A decade on and the subject continues to be seen as a taboo. Several major sporting governing bodies declined or ignored repeated requests from Telegraph Sport to discuss the extent to which their athletes were prone to stress incontinence, including any measures they were taking to help those impacted.

“Women are supposed to have a menstrual cycle – blood is supposed to come out of them once a month,” says Baz Moffat, a women’s health coach at The Well HQ who specialises in pelvic-floor education. 

“You’re not supposed to wet yourself. You’re not supposed to leak urine, especially if you’ve not had a baby.”

Research has shown that pelvic-floor dysfunction and incontinence should not be solely viewed “as mums’ issues”, as Moffat puts it. Female athletes are, in fact, at a 177 per cent higher risk of presenting with urinary incontinence symptoms than sedentary women, with those involved in high-impact sports such as volleyball, athletics, basketball, rugby, football, cross-country, skiing and running all affected.

“The assumption is that you leak because you have a weak pelvic floor,” adds Moffat. “There’s this ‘keep doing your pelvic-floor exercises’ message but, actually, for many sportspeople, it’s about relaxing the pelvic floor and the down training, which sportspeople are pretty bad at.”

Urinary tract infections are another sign that the pelvic floor is too tight due to its inability to let go of urine, which stays in the urethra.

“The pelvic floor is a dynamic muscle which should move with your breathing,” adds Moffat. “Every muscle needs to have a range of movement that it works through and if all you’ve done is tighten and tighten your muscles, that’s not a healthy state for your connective tissue to be in.”

The issue is widespread in gymnastics. One academic paper revealed that the entire French gymnastics team experienced leakage during the 2016 Rio Olympics, while a 2021 study published in the International Urogynecology Journal found that out of 319 gymnasts and cheerleaders surveyed, two thirds suffered urinary incontinence.

Moffat knows of parents whose gymnast daughters have even started wetting the bed, their pelvic floor overtrained and overtight through the consistent core work, while the stigma around incontinence has been intensified by sexual abuse scandals that have rocked the sport.

Larry Nassar, the convicted paedophile doctor for the United States gymnastics team, twice shut down police probes into his sexual abuse after claiming his assaults on victims were medically legitimate “pelvic-floor therapy”. This type of treatment uses internal vaginal soft tissue manipulation, or massage, to relieve pelvic pain by accessing muscles that cannot be accessed any other way, and gave Nassar an easy cover story that allowed him to become a predatory abuser.

In other sports, the scale of stress incontinence and the prevalence of tight pelvic floors is only just starting to be understood – and in the case of Wales Rugby – tackled. After conducting a player questionnaire among the Wales women’s squad during the first Covid-19 lockdown, Jo Perkins, the team’s head physio, discovered incontinence was leading to huge performance implications.

“When I started working with the team in 2019, it was more chats of, ‘Oh, well, I pee myself’ or ‘I have horrendous abdominal pain when I reach my maximum speed’, or ‘It’s painful putting tampons in’. These all come under the umbrella term of pelvic-floor dysfunction,” says Perkins.

“If you’ve got pain or you’re leaking, all that pressure is going the wrong way, so you won’t be able to push as hard in the scrum or tackle and jump effectively. Our stats showed that, actually, the girls were leaking more through jumping, rather than tackling.”

After launching its first set of professional full-time contracts this year, the Welsh Rugby Union began a pioneering partnership with “fem tech” brand Elvie to improve players’ pelvic-floor knowledge. Every player has a smart kegel trainer, a device that is vaginally inserted and helps with pelvic-floor training. It links with an app, and players can monitor their pelvic-floor strength as it contracts and releases.

“The app is really good at telling players whether they are squeezing effectively and how much they are squeezing,” explains Perkins. “It gives you real time feedback. What we’re finding with a lot of the girls is that it’s the release that’s really difficult.”

With the rise of fem tech – the umbrella term for software, services and products focusing on women’s health – expected to exceed £40 billion within the next decade, there are an increasing number of products to help sportswomen deal with incontinence. But, according to Moffat, who conducts pelvic-floor health workshops, there is not an off-the-shelf one-fits-all solution.

“My approach to women and their bodies is they need to know what they need to be doing,” she says. “Just doing a set of pelvic-floor exercises at home will work for some people brilliantly. Nothing is perfect for everybody.

“My recommendation would always be to just go simple first of all and try doing pelvic-floor exercises on your own. Women have no clue how to do pelvic-floor exercises – they’ve never been taught properly – so that’s a challenge. If that’s the case, I would go and find a women’s health physio first who can teach you how to do them properly and also teach you what exercises you need to be doing.”

Having seen specialists for her own pelvic-floor problems, Songhurst has found breathing techniques to relax her core which have helped, but she has reached a point where she is simply managing her leakage. “I kind of accept it’s going to be a thing for the rest of my career,” says Songhurst, who is targeting the Paris 2024 Olympics. “I’m open to trying things if someone suggests how to help.”

By simply talking about urinary stress incontinence, she and Gallagher Cox are making a major contribution to breaking the taboo.
“It’s so normalised after pregnancy,” adds Songhurst, “but why isn’t it normalised in sport?”

The Secret to Overcoming Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the inability to control urine flow from the bladder, resulting in involuntary leakage. There are different types of urinary incontinence, including stress, urge, overflow, and mixed incontinence.

Stress incontinence occurs when the bladder muscles weaken, leading to urine leakage during activities such as coughing or laughing. Urge incontinence is characterized by a sudden and urgent need to urinate, followed by involuntary urine flow. Overflow incontinence happens when the bladder fails to empty completely, causing urine to overflow. Mixed incontinence is a combination of stress and urge incontinence.

How to Overcome Stress and Find Inner Peace

Life has a sneaky way of piling things on, doesn’t it? One moment you’re breezing through your to-do list, and the next, you’re wondering why you got misty-eyed over a cereal commercial. It’s wild out there, so it’s totally okay to need a little time-out every now and then. For those times when you’re not quite sure if you’re just tired or on the brink of a meltdown, here’s a fun (but oh-so-real) list of signs that stress might be doing the tango on your last nerve.

Sleep? What’s That?

If you hop into bed and your brain decides to replay every episode of your life instead of letting you snooze, stress could be the uninvited sleepover guest. Try some lavender mist on your pillow or Naturecan’s CBD gummies to help you chill out before bed and see if that helps.

Coffee Can’t Fix This

We all have our morning rituals, but if you’re guzzling down cup after cup and still feeling like you’re in slow-mo, it’s a sign all might not be well in your body and mind.

You’re Suddenly Tearful

Ever find yourself getting teary at the drop of a hat? Yep, even over those weird infomercials. Stress can turn those tear ducts into open faucets. It’s much harder to regulate your emotions when you are under a lot of stress, which is why seeing a good therapist can often be a great idea.

Your Belly’s Upset

If your stomach’s acting like it’s on a rollercoaster when you’re firmly on solid ground, stress might be steering the ride. Butterflies in the stomach can be a sign of stress and anxiety, but they can also be a sign of something physically wrong with you too, so if they persist best to get them checked out.

A Case Of Forgetfulness

Ever read a page of a book and then had no clue what you just read? Or forgot why you opened the fridge? When stress levels rise, memory can take a nosedive. So, before you start panicking about cognitive decline issues, think about whether you have been feeling particularly stressed lately.

Your Skin’s Not Playing Nice

When you’re adulting, but your skin decides to revert to its teen years, it’s time to check in with your stress levels. A good therapist may well be better for you than a dermatologist at this point.

Everything Feels Overwhelming

The mail’s piled up, the laundry’s giving you side-eye, and even choosing a snack feels like a major decision. If the small stuff feels like climbing a mountain, it’s time to take a breath, and think about whether you might need some help for your stress.

Obviously, if you think you might have a stress problem, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible. This information is just a general summary and only a medical professional can diagnose chronic stress in you. That being said, fi you do spot any of these signs, you should act sooner, rather than later.

Stress incontinence here.

shoutout to every person who deals with incontinence. i dealt with bedwetting up until my early teens, and now deal with stress and urge incontinence and for years never wanted to talk about it because of the shame and stigma other people place on not being able to control your bladder or bowel movements.

incontinence is a disability. it's not gross or wrong to talk about incontinence. incontinent people are not dirty or disgusting. if we could control these parts of our body, we would. we're not an inconvenience for being this way, and we don't have to be treated like a burden or like we need to be "fixed".

whether or not you use incontinent products like briefs, pads, diapers, plastic bed sheets, or whatever else, you are loved, important, and deserved to be seen when there are conversations about disability awareness and acceptance. we don't deserve to hide in shame when all we need is to be accommodated and accepted.

My GI appointment went really well. Doctor seemed just as annoyed as I am at the doctor who did my endoscopy because he didn't test for anything it turns out he just found the hernia and only cared about that. So she sent an order for me to get a gastric emptying test done, and after that she wants me to come in again to discuss the results. She said after that she's going to order another endoscopy and make sure they do a bunch of biopsies this time. I also told her I think my hernia is from hEDS instead of smoking, and told her about all the stuff wrong with me. She asked why the hell I'm not diagnosed with it and I said because I have all the symptoms but the really scary ones and idk if anyone in my family has had them because nobody goes to the doctor. So she wrote down the name and location of a doctor an hour away she said I should see who specializes in EDS enough to have written papers on it, she said she knows everything she knows about EDS because of him. She told me to wean myself off all the things triggering my gastrointestinal issues and to make sure I go to my appointment to see the prolapse surgeon, because she said my pelvic floor issues are probably a bit component to my bathroom issues.

Regain Control: Understanding and Managing Stress Urinary Incontinence

Introduction

Have you ever felt a sudden urge to cross your legs when you laugh or cough? You’re not alone. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects approximately 10%-20% of women, leading to involuntary leakage of urine during everyday activities like sneezing, exercising, or even laughing. This common condition can create both physical discomfort and emotional distress, often making women feel embarrassed or isolated. However, understanding SUI is the first step toward regaining control over your life.

What Causes Stress Urinary Incontinence?

Several factors can contribute to the development of SUI, including:

Pregnancy and Vaginal Birth: The physical changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the pelvic floor muscles and support structures of the bladder, leading to SUI.

Obesity: Excess weight increases pressure on the bladder, making leakage more likely during physical activities.

Chronic Cough: Conditions that cause frequent coughing can weaken the pelvic muscles over time, contributing to SUI.

Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can also place stress on the pelvic floor.

Genetic Factors: Some women may inherit a predisposition to weakened pelvic muscles, increasing their risk for SUI.

Recognizing the Symptoms

The most prominent symptom of stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during moments of increased abdominal pressure. Symptoms may vary in severity and frequency, but common experiences include:

Leakage during physical activities

Urine leakage when sneezing, coughing, or laughing

Medication: In some cases, medications can help relax the bladder muscles and reduce leakage. These medications may include alpha-blockers or anticholinergics.

Surgery: For severe cases, surgical procedures like sling surgery or urethral bulking agents may be considered. Sling surgery involves implanting a synthetic mesh sling to support the urethra, while urethral bulking agents involve injecting a substance into the urethra to improve its closure.
