Why does the problem of urine leakage occur during pregnancy
Urine leakage is normal during pregnancy. This happens in the third trimester. When a woman is pregnant, the uterus is preparing itself for children. In this situation, it creates pressure on your bladder. The bladder is just in front of the uterus. The uterine tubes carry urine. In this situation, due to increased pressure on the bladder by the uterus, the possibility of urine leakage increases during pregnancy.
Is. At the same time, due to an increase in the size of the stomach, the tissues and muscles of the pelvic floor expand. Due to this, the spinster muscles become weak. When delivery takes place, both the uterus and bladder return to their normal positions. This process takes about 6 weeks to happen. This is the reason why sometimes urine leakage can occur even after pregnancy.
According to experts, some exercises can be used to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Kegel exercises can reduce the problem of urine leaking. However, if you have this kind of problem then first consult your doctor.
