Urinary incontinence in women is a common problem. But since it is on the list of sensitive topics, they prefer not to talk about it. Meanwhile, incontinence leads to a series of psychological, physical and social difficulties, making life difficult not only for the sick person, but also for others.
You need to understand that urinary incontinence (or incontinence) is not a disease, but a symptom. It can appear as a result of a violation of the functions of the body due to any process or disease. It is not a sign of aging, despite the popular belief of most people. And only some cases are solved by the introduction of physical exercises, but the rest have to come to terms with the problem and learn to live with it.
There are many reasons, and often it is a whole complex:
- menopause;
- violation or change in the location of the pelvic organs relative to the bladder, as well as a violation of their nervous sensitivity;
- diseases of the pelvic organs;
- problems of the nervous system with dysfunction of organspelvis;
- Taking certain medications.
Severities:
I - urine loss is minimal, with a pronounced load;
II - loss of urine during moderate exercise;
III – Urine loss at minimal exertion and at rest.
Most women are embarrassed by this problem, so they do not go to see a doctor for a long time. Often they do not even know which specialist to contact with this issue. It must be understood that only a doctor can determine the cause of incontinence, prescribe the right treatment and advise additional measures to improve the quality of life. Moreover, it can be either a local therapist or a gynecologist, neurologist or urologist.
For urinary incontinence, most experts recommend the use of additional hygiene products. Before proceeding with the choice, you need to decide on your needs. Everything is taken into account: quantity, size, shape, durability, absorbency, material, additional properties, as well as availability and price range.
The most popular remedy for women is urological pads. They are mainly used for mild to moderate incontinence. They are actively used in the postoperative, postpartum period, with heavy periods, with uterine bleeding, after gynecological interventions, etc.
Urological pads differ in absorbency, shape, size, material, so you can choose the appropriate option, taking into account the constitution of the body and the degree of incontinence.

Additional features of the pads include a so-called breathable laminate that prevents pressure sores, an absorbent that eliminates odors, an indicator that tells you when the pad needs to be changed, and the absence of latex, important for allergy sufferers.

Urological pads are perfectly fixed with additional devices - panties. They are reusable and washable. When putting on the seams should remain outside. They facilitate dressing without changing underwear. Perfect for use both at home and in hospitals, maternity hospitals, and other medical institutions.
For bedridden people, as well as severe incontinence, diapers are more suitable. They combine panties and padding and are recognized as the most effective and reliable.
