For most people, it may result in a total loss of the bladder’s contents or it may just cause minor leakage and frequent urges to urinate. The condition may be temporary or chronic, depending on its cause. Leaky bladder and overactive bladder can be a symptom of many different health problems, ranging from cancer to kidney stones to an enlarged prostate. It can also be a natural result of the aging process, since your bladder muscles become weaker as you get older.

Risk factors related to bladder control problems can happen around the childbearing ages, when the process of pregnancy and a vaginal delivery can affect bladder control. However, this problem usually goes away in the majority of patients during pregnancy or immediately after childbirth. The next series of events in life that could cause it are around the time of menopause for women, and enlargement of the prostate in the fifth and sixth decades of life in men. Enlargement of the prostate gland occurs in the majority of the men living in the western society and may affect bladder function.

Leaky bladder treatment begins with learning how to improve your bladder symptoms and typically includes regular exercise. Some people will need medications, while others might need surgery. What's best for you depends on the type and severity of your bladder control problem — nearly all sufferers can be helped through some form of specified leaky bladder treatment.

Some other treatment options include:

• Bladder control exercises

Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic muscles and don’t require equipment. The trick is finding the right muscles to squeeze. Your doctor can help make sure you are squeezing the right muscles or refer you to a physical therapist.

• Changing habits

By keeping track of the times you leak urine, you may notice certain times of day when you are most likely to have an accident. You can use that information to make planned trips to the bathroom ahead of time to avoid a leaking bladder.

• Exercise and diet

If you are overweight or do not drink enough water, you may be prone to suffering from urinary incontinence. Changing your eating habits and drinking more water will help to maintain a good diet and healthy lifestyle which will help in all aspects of your life.

Your bladder function may greatly improve after treatment. Any improvement, however, counts as a success, as long as it frees you to do what you like and enhances your quality of life.
