Has this ever happened to you? You cough or sneeze and a little urine leaks out? I've experienced it and it's called stress incontinence. When the tissues and structures around the bladder neck weakens, it can prevent it from holding back urine when even the slightest activity puts pressure on the abdomen. It can also happen during more energetic activities like exercise and sex.
I've read that exercises that strengthen the area can help so I've been doing pelvic tilts everyday. But I was surprised to know that wearing 1- to 2-inch heels may also help strengthen the key muscles. According to studies, the heels lead to a tilting of the pelvis that contracts those muscles. I'm not fond of wearing heels but if that would help, then maybe I should. Dietary changes are also helpful: Eat more fiber and avoid caffeine, carbonated beverages, dairy, spicy foods, and acidic fruits (like oranges and pineapple), which can irritate the bladder.
