Incontinence in women during sexual intercourse is a fairly rare occurrence. But she should not be ashamed and fear the negative attitude of her partner to this problem. Such an unexpected phenomenon can talk about the development of chronic pathologies.
In most cases, women are diagnosed with diseases of the genitourinary system that require optimal treatment, as well as an accurate determination of the causes of urinary incontinence during sexual contact.
Methodology for the development of pathology
To begin with, it is worth considering the mechanism of the formation of a pathological condition. The excretion of urine by the body is a completely natural process in which the bladder, ureters, and also the kidneys are involved, where excess products of metabolic processes, as well as fluid, accumulate. Urine is excreted through the urinary canal. By its anatomy, the bubble has the appearance of a balloon, and the channel is a hollow tube.
The urination process consists of the following stages:
- the walls of the bladder begin to contract;
- as a result, urine is pushed out;
- urinary fluid will enter a special channel to excrete urine;
- liquid is discharged through the channel.
It is important that the muscles that hold the urine relax well. Only this will contribute to the natural process of urination. But when this pathology is detected, they usually talk about the development of excessive weakness of the muscle system or about a sharp contraction of the muscles.
In some situations, a problem may arise due to damage to the intimate muscles, in which even a minimal pressure of the liquid will provoke unplanned urine output. Sometimes it is enough for a woman to drastically change the position of her body so that the bubble displaces, and the pressure in it changes and there is trouble.
Another reason that can cause the appearance of urine during sexual contact is the excessive body weight of a woman who previously suffered from incontinence. This factor will contribute to the further development of the pathological process, which has a pronounced severity: the amount of urine increases significantly, more often sudden discharge of urine will be observed.
Causes of Sex Incontinence
The reasons that cause urinary incontinence, especially during sexual contact, are several:
- the body during sexual contact produces a large amount of adrenaline, thereby activating the functioning of the heart, which distills the blood, as well as the kidneys, which remove fluid from the body more actively;
- an orgasm excessively relaxes the muscles of the pubis and coccyx, due to which involuntary urination occurs, without previous urges;
- identification of pathological, chronic cystitis and urethritis is possible;
- the appearance of urinary incontinence due to overcrowding of the bladder, which arose even before sexual contact began;
- anatomical features of a woman: movements of the penis upon contact can touch the walls of the bladder, provoking the appearance of urges to release fluid after the act;
- stress, uncomfortable postures, as well as physical stress during sex;
- urinary incontinence due to impaired transmission of nerve impulses by a woman's body.
There are cases when partners may confuse involuntary urination with copious secretion of a special intimate lubricant. But whatever the reason for involuntary urination during sexual intercourse, this phenomenon has an extremely negative effect on a woman's life and requires urgent treatment.
Diagnosis of urinary incontinence
If urine flow becomes a constant problem during sexual intercourse, a woman is shown a visit to a urologist who can conduct a high-quality diagnosis, as well as select the most optimal and effective treatment regimen.
So, to begin with, the patient undergoes an ultrasound, prescribe the necessary tests, and then determine the individual treatment regimen. When detecting chronic infections in the genitourinary system of a woman, drug treatment is used. If the expected result is not, the patient may be prescribed surgery.
Pessary installation
In some cases, when urinating during sex, specialists may suggest that a woman install a vaginal pessary. He intensively supports the patient's pelvis. But it is extremely undesirable and even forbidden to select this device yourself!
Drug treatment
If special exercises during urination during sex in men and women do not give a positive effect, doctors can prescribe the use of certain pharmaceuticals that eliminate the problem of involuntary urination not only during sexual intercourse, but also in ordinary life.
But it is worth noting that the use of such funds will be effective when incontinence occurs due to urgent factors. If a stressful condition is noted, medical products will most likely not have the desired effect.
Changing your lifestyle might be effective:
- it is advisable to reduce or even stop drinking coffee and alcohol, which exacerbate the problem;
- you should regularly go to the toilet so that the bubble is empty;
- it is necessary to observe the optimal drinking regimen, limit the amount of fluid, especially before bedtime or going to public places;
- the formation of pathology will also be promoted by the leg-to-leg pose practiced by women;
- choosing a comfortable posture during sexual intercourse.
Pathology Prevention
An alternative way to get rid of the fact that urination occurs during sex is called the woman performing Kegel exercises. They help to learn to control the muscles that are responsible for urinating. This effective exercise makes it possible to increase the tone of the pelvic and female intimate muscles.
Rhythmic muscle stop will also be effective in urging you to urinate during sex. Provided that the above exercises are regularly performed, a woman will have a positive trend in about a week. It is noteworthy that these exercises can be carried out anywhere, regardless of the occupied position of the body.
The use of special pads can be a good help, although this is not considered to be a therapeutic method to eliminate this unpleasant problem. But it is the attending physician who must determine the optimal treatment option.
Excess weight
It will be important to maintain weight in optimal condition, because overweight will contribute to the tension of the pelvic floor muscles, which, in turn, will put pressure on the bladder, increasing the risk of involuntary urination during sex in women and men. Even minimal weight loss will significantly improve the situation without causing inconvenience during sexual intercourse.
