Urine incontinence is a condition in which urine leaks out involuntarily. It is a very common condition that no one wants to talk about because of the stigma that surrounds it. Many people are too humiliated to seek help but this health challenge can be corrected with natural intervention.
Causes of Urinary Incontinence
Some medicines, drinks and food may act as diuretics (stimulating your bladder and increasing your volume of urine) and can cause bladder control problems that last a short time. E.g. alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, sparkling water, artificial sweeteners, chocolate, chili peppers, foods that are high in spice, sugar or acid especially citrus fruits, heart and blood pressure medications, sedatives, muscle relaxants, large doses of vitamin C, etc.
When incontinence lasts longer, it may be due to:
• Weak bladder muscles
• Overactive bladder muscles
• Weak pelvic floor muscles
• Damage to nerves that control the bladder from diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, or Parkinson’s disease
• Blockage from an enlarged prostate in men
• Urinary tract diseases, infections, strokes, surgeries and treatments for pelvic cancers
• Pelvic organ prolapse, which is when pelvic organs (such as the bladder, rectum, or uterus) shift out of their normal place into the vagina. When pelvic organs are out of place, the bladder and urethra are not able to work normally, which may cause urine to leak
Symptoms of urinary incontinence
Symptoms range from occasionally leaking some urine to completely losing control of your bladder (when you wet yourself).
Other symptoms include:
• often needing to visit the toilet urgently or frequently
• leaking urine when you laugh, sneeze, cough or exercise
• feeling that you need to strain to pass urine
• a weak or slow urine stream
• feeling as if your bladder is not empty just after going to the toilet
• having little or no warning when you need to pass urine
• passing urine while asleep
• having a lot of urinary tract infections
• ‘dribbling’ more urine after visiting the toilet
Different forms of urinary incontinence and their natural treatments
• Stress incontinence: Urine leaks out while coughing, laughing or doing some activity, such as running or jumping.
Remedy: Natrum muriaticum, Sepia, Causticum, Ipecacuanha are effective for involuntary urination due to coughing, laughing , sneezing, blowing nose, walking, sitting.
• Urge incontinence: There is a sudden and intense urge to urinate and urine leaks at the same time or just after.
Remedy: Natural medicines like Cantharis, Pareira brava, Staphysagria and Sulphur are recognized as the most effective medicines for urge incontinence characterized by frequent urging, constant pressure on bladder with constant desire to urinate with or without pain.
• Overflow incontinence: This occurs when a person is unable to empty their bladder completely and it overflows (leaks) as new urine is produced. There could be frequent urinating of a small amount or a constant drip called dribbling. It’s often found in people with diabetes or spinal cord injuries or men who have prostate problems or have had prostate surgery.
Remedy: The most well-recognized medicines for overflow incontinence include Sarsaparilla, Zingiber and Kali bichromium. Urine that keeps dribbling while sitting is best treated with Sarsaparilla. One of the top-rated medicines for urine incontinence in cases where the urine continues to ooze in drops even after urinating is Zingiber.
• Incontinence due to Uterus Problems
Remedy: For urine incontinence due to uterus problems, a condition that affects women, natural remedies like Lilium tigrinum, Sepia, Guaiacum and Senecio aureus are very effective. The most effective among medicines for urine incontinence from the prolapsed uterus is Lilium tigrinum. Sepia is the most effective medicine for prolapsed uterus where a marked dragging pain in the pelvis is present, while Guaiacum is very effective for urine incontinence in women who complain of a sharp, stitching pain after urinating. Senecio aureus works very well in women who feel a constant urge to urinate, together with great heat, making it stand out among the best medicines for urine incontinence of this type.
• Urine incontinence in Elderly: Incontinence, especially in old people who cannot retain their urine.
Remedy: Secale cornutum is rated among the best medicines for urine incontinence involving involuntarily urination in elderly who have suffered a paralysis of the bladder or retention of urine with unsuccessful urging. Baryta carbonica is also effective for urinary incontinence in old people who cannot retain urine.
• Urine incontinence or bed-wetting in children
Remedy: Kreosotum is effective for children who bed wet especially in the first part of night. Kreosotum has also proved itself as one of the most useful medicines for bed-wetting in children especially when it is very difficult to wake the child even as he wets the bed.
Equisetum hymenale is a super effective medicine for urine incontinence or bed-wetting in children, who also have nightmares when passing urine.
• Urine Incontinence due to Prostate
Remedy: The most effective medicines for urine incontinence due to prostate complaints are Sabal serrulata, Baryta carbonicum, Iodum and Prunus spinosa. Baryta carbonicum has shown wonderful results in urine incontinence in males having an enlarged prostate. When testicles are swollen, causing twisting pain in the spermatic cord, Iodum is rated as one of the best medicines for urine incontinence. Prunus spinosa is a very effective option in urine incontinency cases where the urine seems to pass as far as glans and then returns, causing pain in the urethra.
