Women can also experience experi-ence incontinence related to an underactive bladder, a blockage or other problem prob-lem in the urethra, or an unrelated medical condition condi-tion that prevents them from getting to the bathroom bath-room in time, such as arthritis, ar-thritis, stroke, or nervous system or mobility problems. prob-lems.

If you have urine loss that affects your daily life, it is important to seek help from your doctor. Your ob-gyn may suggest sug-gest that you lose weight, avoid heavy lifting, drink less caffeine, get treatment treat-ment for lung diseases that make you cough, or stop smoking. Your doctor might also recommend special pelvic muscle exercises ("Kegel" exercises) to help strengthen strength-en the muscles around the bladder and the urethra, or suggest going to the bathroom bath-room on a schedule. Surgery is an option if other treatments have been unsuccessful, and collagen injections around the urethra may be an effective ef-fective therapy for women wom-en who cannot have surgery. sur-gery. , mtmmJTmmJim I, 1 1 'JM .
