Don't be shy: Treat Urinary Incontinence through Physical Therapy
An estimated 1.2 million Malaysians suffered from some form of inconti
nence or inability to control any involuntary loss of urine. If you count yourself in that number, you may not be comfortable admitting it or discussing it, even with your health care provider. Urinary incontinence (UI) also known as "loss of bladder control" or "urinary leakage." UI happen when urine leaks out before you can get to a bathroom. Some women may lose a few drops of urine when they cough or laugh. Others may feel a sudden urge to urinate and cannot control it.
Many assume that frequent bladder leakage or lack of control is simply something they must learn to live with, and may choose to manage the problem with diapers, medications or surgery.
HOWEVER, THERE IS AN EASIER AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTION: PHYSICAL THERAPY.
Physical therapy addresses the root causes of urinary continence, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Lack of bladder control actually stems from a lack of control over the muscles underneath the bladder which known as pelvic floor muscle. It is estimated that pelvic floor disorders occur in up to ¼ of women. Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause are major reasons why women are in high risk of poor pelvic muscle. This is also the reason why UI is twice as common in women as in men.
Physical therapy help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles so that they can continue to do their job of supporting the bladder and helping the body to regain control of leakage. Pelvic floor muscle training as treatment for urinary incontinence has become increasingly recognized for its ability to effectively prevent or decrease the symptoms of incontinence. For best result, seek the help of a trusted physiotherapist.
Other than urinary incontinence, women experience unique health issues and conditions, from pregnancy and menopause to gynecological conditions.

不要害羞：通过物理治疗来帮助尿失禁
估计有一百二十万马来西亚人患有尿失禁。但有不少人會羞於啟齒，不會主動尋求治療。
尿失禁的症状是当你尿急時來不及上廁所就漏尿出來或在咳嗽和笑时憋不住流失几滴尿。
许多人认为尿失禁是他们没办法摆脱的问题，并可能选择用尿布，药物或手术来解决问题。然而，有一个更容易和更有效的解决方法：物理治疗。
物理治疗帮助你解决尿失禁的根本原因，而不是简单地治疗症状。实际上由于膀胱下方的肌肉（盆底肌肉）肌力不足才会导致无法控制膀胱。据估计，1/4的女性有盆底肌肉肌力不足的问题。怀孕，分娩和更年期是女性盆底肌肉肌力不足的主要原因。这也是为什么尿失禁在女性中比在男性中普遍两倍的原因。
物理疗法有助于加强盆底肌肉，使他们可以继续做好支撑膀胱的工作，帮助身体重新控制膀胱。作为治疗尿失禁的盆底肌肉训练已经越来越被认可，因为它有效地预防或减轻失禁症状的能力。为了获得最佳效果，请寻求值得信赖的物理治疗师的帮助。
除了尿失禁之外，妇女还会经历其他的妇科问题。如果您想了解更多关于女性健康的知识，欢迎参加由大专药房所举办“女做王健康营”。 此健康营将于2018年3月10日（星期六）在D’ Tempat country club, Bandar Sri Sendayan举办。欲了解更多活动详情或网上报名，欢迎浏览网站http://bit.ly/2ELWYIC.
