Bladder weakness shouldn’t stop you living life to the full – the problem is often surmountable and always manageable.
If you experience bladder problems or incontinence, you’re not alone. Over 600,000 New Zealand men and women of all ages have bladder or bowel control problems, often as a result of an underlying medical condition or physical changes to the body.

COMMON CAUSES OF BLADDER WEAKNESS

• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Urinary infections
• Diabetes
• Prostate gland surgery
• Menopause
• Neurological disease or injury (Parkinson’s, stroke or spinal cord injury)
• Chronic constipation
• Obesity.

MANAGING THE PROBLEM
Bladder weakness can be managed so you can continue living a full and active life, doing all the things you’ve enjoyed for years.

Pelvic floor exercises and bladder training programmes can help you strengthen the muscles in the pelvic area and hold on longer between toilet visits.
