Problem: Article: If your symptoms don't improve from steps at home or if the leakage begins interfering with your activities of daily life, then make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will have a variety of steps available based on the severity and other specifics of your case, including both medications and surgical intervention in severe instances. Give your doctor a complete picture of your medical history and tell him what steps you've already tried. Your doctor will perform a physical examination of your abdomen and genitals, likely asking you to clench several muscles in the process. She may also want to run other diagnostic tests, which may include: Urine sample testing for infection, the presence of blood, or abnormalities that would increase the sensitivity or irritability of your bladder A neurological examination to identify any nerve damage in the pelvis A urinary stress test, during which the doctor will observe for urine loss while you cough or bear down Bladder function testing, which will measure the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination and pressure inside the bladder Your doctor will likely encourage you to continue with home treatment steps (possibly even augmenting your routine). He may also recommend a medication to help reduce your stress incontinence. Medications that can help with mild to moderate cases include: Anticholinergic medicinesoxybutynin (Oxytrol, Ditropan), tolterodine (Detrol), and trospium (Sanctura)to help relax the bladder muscles and reduce contractions and leakage Antimuscarinic drugsatropine, solifenacinto stop bladder contractions (may increase the amount of urine left in the bladder after emptying) Imipraminea tricyclic antidepressantthat relaxes the bladder muscles to help with full evacuation Estrogen creams and vaginal tablets or rings that can help women who have gone through menopause to increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles When all other options have failed to relieve your stress incontinence symptoms, your doctor may suggest surgical options as a last resort. Your doctor will base the recommendation of a specific procedure on your sex and other criteria. Options include: Anterior vaginal repair, which restores vaginal walls strength when bladder prolapse is involved (the bladder bulging into the vagina). Artificial urinary sphincter, which is a device used mainly in men to stop urine leakage. Collagen injections, which thicken the area around the urethra to reduce leakage. This option can require multiple procedures. Retropubic suspension, which is a procedure that lifts the bladder and urethra to reduce strain and pressure. Vaginal sling procedures, which support the urethra with the use of a sling to reduce strain and pressure.
Summary: Recognize when to see your doctor. Submit to any diagnostic testing. Ask about medication options. Consult your physician about surgical options.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Like any professional letter, the pain letter should begin with "Dear [hiring manager name]." The hiring manager's name should appear in the contact section on the job description. You can also look for the hiring manager's name on the company website. The hook should praise the company on a recent accomplishment. Do some research to find a recent win by the employer that has happened within the past six months. This could be a recent award they received or a new facility they just established. Maybe they hit a recent sales goal or broke into a new market. Make the hook the first sentence of the letter. For example, you may write, "Congratulations to you and your team at Buzz Company for winning the recent Innovators Award! I was able to catch the keynote speech at the awards, given by your CEO, and was impressed by your company's dynamic approach to the sales market." In the second paragraph, focus on one pain the hiring manager may be having. Refer to the issues mentioned in the job description. Do not try to address every pain point. Instead, focus on just one so your letter is clear and to the point. For example, you may write, "I can imagine that keeping up with new hires and payroll issues as you expand may be an ongoing challenge. With the constant changes in the market, it's not easy to keep employees paid correctly in a growing company." In this section, do not tell the hiring manager what to do or how to do their job. Simply outline a possible pain point that you feel you can address or offer solutions for. In the third paragraph, tell a one to two sentence story that discusses your solution to the pain. Discuss a time when you addressed a similar business pain by listing your actions and your necessary expertise. This will let the reader know that you have the experience necessary to address their pain. For example, you may write, "When I ran the HR department at Fizz Limited, I created a new hire training program tailored to the needs of the company. I also kept payroll in compliance with industry standards and responded to employee needs as the company grew from 10 to 500 staff members." End the letter with a short one to two sentence closing paragraph. Briefly note the pain you have addressed in the letter as well as a gentle call to action about getting in touch with the hiring manager. Include a friendly sign off. For example, you may write, "If HR leadership and payroll accuracy are two skills you are looking for at your company, I'd love to talk in more detail about how I can be of service. Best, [your name]."

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To get rid or reduce belly fat you'll need to reduce your weight. To help keep track of your weight loss, weigh yourself regularly. It's best to weigh yourself about one to two times a week. In addition, try to weigh yourself on the same day of the week, at the same time and wearing the same clothes. Keep track of your weight in a journal. Seeing your progress can be motivating to help you stay on track. It can also show you any trends where you're gaining weight as well. In addition to weight loss, one of the best ways to measure your progress of losing belly fat to is track your waist circumference. This is the measurement around the smallest part of your waist. As you decrease belly fat, your waist circumference will decrease. Use a tape measurer to measure the circumference of your waist. Do this by finding the top of your hip bone and your lowest rib and wrapping the tape around your belly between these two points. Continue taking measurements as you diet to track your progress. A high waist circumference or a measurement over 37 inches (94 cm) indicates you have a large quantity of belly fat and are at risk for chronic diseases. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are trying to lose weight while building muscle, the scale can be misleading. Your best bet is track your progress by measuring your waistline and weight together. Dieting can be hard, especially when you find yourself constantly thinking about food or eating out of boredom.

Have this list handy when the desire to eat strikes. Ideas to try include: taking a walk, reading a book, cleaning out a junk drawer, talking to a friend or family member on the phone or doing household chores. If you're feeling hungry and it's close to a planned meal or snack time, have your meal and then move on with other activities. Do not continue to eat or snack. . When we have chronic stress in our lives, our bodies release the hormone cortisol, which causes the body to store extra fat in the midsection. In addition, chronically elevated cortisol levels can increase hunger levels. Try to eliminate and manage stressful things, people, and situations in your life.

Meeting with a life coach or therapist can provide additional ways to manage stress. Remember that while you can't always control your circumstances, you can control the way you react. Mind/body practices like yoga and meditation help you learn how to relax your mind so that you can better cope with stress, anxiety, and depression.
