Bladder Basics -  Does menopause affect bladder control?

Points to Consider

* About 50% of women past menopause have bladder control problems.
* Replacing female hormones may help prevent future bladder control problems.
* Exercising pelvic floor muscles can help you maintain or regain bladder control.
* Kegel exercise devices are helpful for many people
* Bladder treatment depends on the type of bladder control problem you have. Talk to your health care team to find the treatment that's right for you.



Many women have bladder control problems after they stop having periods (menopause or change of life). If you are going through menopause, talk to your health care team. After your periods end, your body stops making as much of the female hormone estrogen. Estrogen controls how your body matures, your monthly periods, and body changes during pregnancy, breast-feeding and menopause.


Estrogen also helps keep the lining of the bladder and the uretha and pelvic floor muscles plump and healthy. Lack of estrogen causes the bladder control muscles to get weak. Pressure from coughing, sneezing, or lifting can push urine through the weakened muscle.

Depending on your health history, your doctor may prescribe hormone replacement threapy to replace estrogen. Certainly, every woman nearing menopause, will be benefitted by doing pegel exercises.
