Tips for Strengthening Your Bladder
First you need to understand the cause of your bladder incontinence and bladder control issues. Bladder incontinence is often found in women who have had children or are going through menopause. Over time, the female bladder muscles weaken due to the strain on the system. In addition, incontinence can be caused by infection, disease, stress, inflammation or weak pelvic muscles.
Make Kegel exercises a regular part of your routine. Kegel exercises are discreet exercises that help you strengthen the muscles on your pelvic floor. Ultimately, these exercises can help you control your bladder. To complete a Kegel exercise, you will need to squeeze the pelvic muscles, hold the position for several seconds and release.
Do this step repeatedly, multiple times per day. Many experts recommend completing 10 Kegel exercises during three different parts of the day. Kegels can be completed while sitting, standing, driving, working in your office or watching TV.
Consider including natural herbs and vitamins to help assist you with your bladder control. Vitamin C is especially important in improving a weak bladder. Add a multivitamin with Vitamin C to your diet, while also choosing Vitamin C-rich foods such as oranges.
Vitamin E and Vitamin A also are important vitamins to take when it comes to managing bladder control issues. There also are other natural herbs that have been known to help with bladder control.
