system: Do women have incontinence during pregnancy?
output: During pregnancy, many women experience at least some degree of urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary loss of urine. The incontinence may be mild and infrequent for some pregnant women. But it can be more severe for others. Age and body mass index are risk factors for pregnancy incontinence, according to one study. Incontinence can continue after pregnancy and may not be present right after childbirth. Some women do not have bladder problems until they reach their 40s.
system: What are Kegel exercises?
output: Kegel exercises are another method that can be used to help control urinary incontinence. These exercises help tighten and strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can improve the function of the urethra and rectal sphincter. One way to find the Kegel muscles is to sit on the toilet and begin urinating. Then stop urinating mid-stream. The muscles that you use to stop the flow of urine are the Kegel muscles. Another way to help locate the Kegel muscles is to insert a finger into the vagina and try to make the muscles around your finger tighter.
system: Can incontinence continue after childbirth?
output: Incontinence can continue after pregnancy and may not be present right after childbirth. After pregnancy, incontinence problems may continue, because childbirth weakens the pelvic floor muscles, which can cause an overactive bladder. Pregnancy and childbirth also may contribute to bladder control problems because of the following conditions: Damage to the nerves that control the bladder The fact that the urethra and bladder have moved during pregnancy An episiotomy, a cut made in the pelvic floor muscle during delivery of a baby to allow the fetus to come out more easily Behavioral methods such as timed voiding and bladder training can be helpful in treating urinary incontinence during and after pregnancy.
