Urinary incontinence can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'worrying'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose urinary incontinence, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Low Estrogens | 96% | Confirm |
EFA 3 Need | 52% | Possible |
Do you have a problem with urine leakage (incontinence)?
Possible responses:
→ Don't know→ No → Minor occasional problem → Occurs with physical stress only (cough, jumping) → A continual problem / use absorptive pads |
Flax seed oil at 1 Tablespoon per day is sometimes recommended because it can reduce inflammation contributing to an overactive bladder.
The cause of urinary stress incontinence in women is usually pelvic relaxation resulting from childbirth and the aging process. These changes become more pronounced following menopause as estrogen deficiency allows atrophy of the genitourinary tissues.
