Deteriorating bladder control is called urinary incontinence, and while it is common, it can be a frustrating and embarrassing daily problem. Consult your doctor for the best treatment for you, so that you can have control over your everyday life. Bladder control issues can come in the form of either urge incontinence or stress incontinence. Urge incontinence is uncontrolled urination after a sudden and intense feeling of needing to urinate. There is also stress incontinence where urination occurs during sneezing, coughing or exercising because of a lack of muscle control.
To treat urinary incontinence, you may be advised to make lifestyle and exercise changes, and use medication. There are a few different types of medication that help treat urinary incontinence. Anticholinergics like Ditropan help ease urge incontinence. Another treatment medication is topical estrogen, such as a low dosage vaginal cream that can help with the urethra tissues to prevent incontinence symptoms. Often, people use medication that treats both urge and stress incontinence. An example would be Tofranil, which is a tricyclic antidepressant. You can find both Ditropan and Tofrinil at Canada Drug Pharmacy at competitive prices.
