Three reasons to address your leaking.

Bladder leaking is common.  Lots of women have leaking while exercising and laughing.  Some of us go all the time and may leak before we can get into the bathroom.  But it isn’t just a bladder issue.  Leaking can impact your life in lots of different ways.  And none of them are positive.

Here are my top three reasons to address your bladder leaking today.

Aging gracefully

We all want to age gracefully and continue to live a full life.  Who doesn’t want to continue to travel and be active?  The best way to do this is to eat well and exercise regularly.  But women who leak with exercise are less likely to keep exercising.  They’re more likely to stop hiking, quit their golf league, and avoid the bowling alley.  Giving up exercise may seem like a good way to avoid leaking, but it is not good for your overall health.  Your body functions best when you continue to use it.  So let’s figure out a way to get you on the trails, in a golf league, or throwing that strike.

Self-esteem

Having a leaking bladder impacts self-esteem.  It is hard to feel attractive and vibrant when your bladder empties at inconvenient times.  This happens slowly over time, and you may not recognize it.  But this link is strong.  A leaky bladder can even lead to worsening depression or anxiety.  And fixing a leaky bladder can improve all of these issues.

Relationships

Lots of women cut out activities when their bladder leaks.  They may stop going to movies or concerts.  They may not want to go out to dinner.  Over time, they may stay home more and more.  This can impact friendships and relationships.  It can make women feel isolated.  Leaking can also happen during intercourse.  This can lead to avoiding intercourse.  And while this is very understandable, it can hurt intimate relationships too.  But fixing the leaking often makes women more social.  All of the fear and anxiety around leaking can go away.

Treating bladder leaking can have an amazing impact on your quality of life.  It is why I enjoy treating it so much.  Watching someone regain self-confidence or return to beloved activities is an amazing thing to be part of.  So think about treating your leaking today.
