Physiotherapy Urogenicológica Abdominal poorly made generates urinary incontinence.
In contrast to imagine,
everyone is susceptible to the
disease.
Abdominal exercises and bad habits
made inappropriate can cause the
problem of urinary incontinence.
According to physiotherapist Maura
Regina Seal, a specialist in
urogenicologia in Brazil, about 18
million people suffering with the
problem, 80% of whom are women.
In contrast to imagine, the
condition affects not only the group
of senior citizens, but also
children, athletes and women who
have just to have children or are in
menopause. The problem, however, can
be solved by sessions of gymnastics
specific to the region.
Many women in the postpartum fill
gyms to shape the body again. The
problem is that in some years, as
the abs, there is an imbalance in
the transmission of pressure from
the diaphragm and abdominal region,
which instead of directing the force
to the sacral region of the spine,
is moving to crack vaginal, favoring
the emergence of the problem.
Other habits such as constipation
and non-respect of the need to
urinate body, not going to the
bathrooms on each of 3 or 4 hours,
also damaging.
Another factor contributing to the
worsening of urinary incontinence is
the lack of treatment during
menopause.
According to Maura, there is still a
big taboo on the subject, resulting
in demand for help too late. "Only
when the situation is very severe
the patient resolve the situation to
tell the doctor," he says. For her,
this case became public health,
because the disease affects much the
patient's psychological and promotes
social isolation. "The more young
people begin to change the routine,
to avoid leaving home, and older
beginning to show a high level of
depression," said the
physiotherapist.
Treatment
According to Maura, in
Europe, all women in the postpartum
form a series of exercises called
hipopressivos, who work the muscles
responsible for the problem. "They
stimulate and strengthen the walls
of the vagina and perineal muscles,
helping to locate the bodies of the
low-belly, encouraging posture
correction," she explains.
The gym can be used in the
prevention as the cure. According to
physical therapist, a patient who
had a very large loss of urine - up
to twenty fraud daily use - after
three sessions, has already started
to control and decreased the number
of frauds. Other patients have
chagaram to be restored completely
by carrying out of ten to fifteen
sessions.
How to strengthen the muscles
The gym hipopressiva is
quite simple and can to show to
everyone. Some years of contraction
can be made even at work or in the
car. How to teach physical therapist
Maura Seal, men can also strengthen
the urethral sphincter of
contracting and relaxing the muscles
of 30 to 50 times in a row, three
times a day. The contraction should
also be made at the time of sneezing,
coughing and doing some physical
effort, to prevent urinary loss,
both for men as for women. The
improvement appears in about ten
days.

What could help
Abdominal muscles strong and
perineum very weak;
Perineal muscle weakness
caused by pregnancy and
childbirth;
Muscle weakness and hormonal
changes of menopause;
Constipation (difficult to
evacuate);
Frequent urinary infections;
In men, incontinence usually
appears after surgery for
prostate.
What to do to prevent urinary incontinence

- Prevent constipation with a healthy diet.
- During pregnancy, make a good preparation for childbirth - learn to relax the perineum to the expulsion of the baby.
- Urinate every three or four hours at least.
Urinary incontinence
affects 10% of the
elderly Eight out of ten
carriers of the disease
are women Urinary
incontinence affects
approximately 900
thousand people in
Parana, which is
equivalent to 10% of the
population of the state.
About 80% of people
affected by the disease
are women - most because
of hormonal problems
caused by menopause. To
address the clinical
picture, which deviates
from its bearers of
social coexistence, in
Brazil there are no
policies of information,
while offering modern
techniques of medical
rehabilitation that can
prevent the advancement
of the problem. Some of
these techniques were
presented yesterday in
lecture sponsored by the
Hospital Santa Cruz de
Curitiba.
They were invited to
participate in the event
the experts Eduard
French-Guy Leclere,
president of the
Hospital Clinic Des
Orneaux Le Havre,
France, and Françoise
Nourdin-Bizouard, Head
of the Department of
Physical Therapy,
Hospital Lariboisière of
Paris. The Santa Cruz
also called on health
authorities to study a
preventive campaign on
the incontinence.
The French doctors said
that the incidence of
urinary incontinence is
so worrying in the world
that motivated this week
special congress on the
subject in Paris.
Nourdin Bizouard
Francoise explains that
there are two broad
categories of victims of
urinary incontinence.
There are people who pee
involuntarily after a
momentary excess of
effort such as coughing,
sneezing, or lifting
some weight after a
laugh. And there are
those who simply have a
sudden need to eliminate
urine, failing to arrive
on time in the bathroom.
The work of prevention,
for the French experts,
is considered crucial to
ensure that the bearer
of incontinence is
treated early. The
message "if you have a
small loss urination,
not to embarrass, talk
to your doctor" is
spread over several
hospitals and other
health centers and work
so that people do not
lose time before
starting treatment.
Depending on the medical
assessment of the
patient may be subjected
to surgery, be treated
with medications or be
sent to reeducation. The
rehabilitation is not
complete in the short
term, but is considered
very effective in
ensuring that the woman
covers the contraction
of the perineal muscles
and get rid of
incontinence. |
