About 5 million Australians ( 1 in 4 people aged over 15 years) are incontinent and 80% are women. That’s 4 million of us piddling when we sneeze! Its no laughing matter (and dont make us laugh either – cause that can make us fart – Oh the indignitiy!).
The majority of incontinence and be treated treated, better managed or even cured.
At Blooms the Chemist we stock the Elise Pelvic Floor Exerciser, which is an easy-to-use, flexible pelvic floor exerciser with a range of clinically tested programs – providing relief from stress, urge and mixed incontinence.
Pelvic floor exercisers are one of the most effective forms of continence management providing a discreet, affordable and long-term solution for incontinence sufferers.
You can pop it in when you go to bed and read a book for half an hour – exercise done!
Adopting healthy habits can help prevent or limit incontinence:
- Eat well to prevent constipation and to maintain a healthy body weight.
- Drink well to prevent bladder irritability and constipation.
- Exercise regularly to prevent constipation, maintain a healthy body weight and tone your pelvic floor.
- Keep your pelvic floor toned to maintain good bladder and bowel control.
- Practice good toilet habits to prevent bladder and bowel control problems. Go to the toilet when your bladder feels full; don’t get into the habit of going “just in case”.
