Bladder and Bowels

Bladder issues can manifest as an urgent need to wee or leaking during activities like coughing or sudden movements. This may be due to a weakened pelvic floor, which affects your ability to control urine flow. On another scenario, increased tension in the pelvic floor can lead to overfilling the bladder, making it difficult to start the flow, completely empty your bladder or result in overflow.

Similarly, loss of bowel control can occur, which may be related to gut issues or a muscle strength issue. These can be identified through a review of your diet, fluid intake and pelvic floor testing.
