Suggest Treatment For Urinary Incontinence After Child Birth
Question: Ever since after baby, when I have my period my tampon is filling up with urine, on top of that I still have to pee every half hour or often. It is driving me crazy. I have urge to go all the time, but any times when I go only drops comes out, but I am still left with uncomfortable feeling that I have to go.
Brief Answer:
It may be due urinary incontinence with urinary infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for trusting to us .
I understand your concern and I will try to help you.
As you may know most of the women who have had vaginal delivery especially with episiotomy, (a cut made in the pelvic floor muscle during delivery of a baby to allow the fetus to come out more easily),may experience incontinence problems , because childbirth weakens the pelvic floor muscles, which can cause an overactive bladder.
Hence weakens of the pelvic floor muscles can explain some signs you refer ,such as your tampon is filling with urine and a part of urgency ( need to urinate more than usual because your bladder have uncontrollable spasms)
Kegel exercises can help urinary incontinence .
But uncomfortable feeling after peeing may be due to any urinary infection.
When is the last urinalysis done?
Hence go for a urinalysis .
Until you will go to do urinalysis ,try to use much more fluids in your diet especially water and cranberry teas ,because they may help you.
If you have any other question ,please do not hesitate .
All the best
