Control Accidental Peeing When you Run, Laugh or Cough

Glow magazine interviewed Dr. Elterman about female incontinence:

Dr. Dean Elterman, a urologist with the University Health Network in Toronto, says that, although multiple pregnancies may increase the risk of incontinence, vigorous activities such as horseback riding or Zumba can cause an “accident” whether you’re a mom or not. Treatments include pads, surgery and pelvic physiotherapy like Kegel exercises. You can also help prevent leaks by losing weight (which reduced pressure on your bladder) and quitting smoking (which means less chronic coughing). Elterman also recomments Poise Impressa, which is inserted like a tampon but has soft silicone prongs to support the urethra and reduce leaks.
