If you have been recently diagnosed
with urinary incontinence, or even if you have been dealing with it for some
time, you are not alone. More than 2 million men are affected by urinary
incontinence. The good news is that there are natural ways to treat to urinary
incontinence and support your urinary health.
Incontinence is a symptom of a
urinary tract problem, and there are different types of urinary incontinence.
Men most commonly experience stress incontinence — the accidental release of
urine when the bladder is under pressure — after being treated for prostate
cancer.
Another type of incontinence is
called overflow incontinence. This is associated with enlarged prostate —
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH can squeeze the urethra and keep the
bladder from completely emptying.
Whether you have stress incontinence
or overflow incontinence, there are natural steps you can take to support your
urinary health and restore continence. If an enlarged prostate is causing your
symptoms, you can learn how to promote a normal prostate size.
The first step is to talk to your
doctor about what is causing your urinary incontinence and to develop a plan
for dealing with the problem. Learn as much as you can about prostate health
and urinary incontinence. Keep an ongoing conversation going with your
healthcare provider.
The lifestyle choices you make and
the foods you eat can help you regain control of your bladder. Following are
several lifestyle changes you can make that will positively affect your bladder
control, prostate and urinary health.
Take Supplements
There are several natural
supplements that support the urinary tract, and many
supplements that shrink the prostate. Many men
find urinary health benefits from quercetin, saw palmetto, curcumin, green tea
extract, cranberry, stinging nettle and pygeum.
