Daughter has bladder problem when sneeze or coughs - Cancer: Bladder Message Board

My daughter is 38 & when she sneezes & coughs she wets herself. What is that? The last time it happened I gave her detrol & it helped. Is there any over the counter drugs she can take? She doesn't have Ins & would have to see a Gyno. She paid alot of $ awhile back before this to see one. By the way I am her mother writing under my husbands memeber name so you don't think it's strange he's asking.

best thing to do is to work on the Kegel exercises. since it sounds like her vaginal muscles are weak. (as is the case with most pregnant woman and woman who have given birth) we need to strengthen these muscles again. When you are going to the bathroom and you stop the flow of urine, those are the muscles that you want to work on. so if you tighten them for 5-10 seconds then release and repeat. the longer you hold, the better work out you are giving the muscles. Each time try to hold them tighter as well. If she practices this, she should see an improvement. I actually, sell certain products that help with these muscles. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I second kegels. And, you can do them at any time and no one would even know it!

i know you can get these wierd little balls(they arent sex aids)and you insert them and do your pelvic floor exercises at the same time so you know you are doing them properly they are gently weighted i have no idea what they are called but you could look it up on the internet maybe under something to do with incontinence hope you manage to find them if your daughter wants to give it a go sorry cant be of much more help x

Bleive it or not she got these capsuls called Curbita made from pumpkinseed oil from the health food store & it took care of the problem. Thanks everyone
