Incontinence, or the inability to control one's bladder or bowel movements, is a common problem that affects thousands of people in Brisbane. While it can be embarrassing and inconvenient, it is important to know that there are several treatment options available to manage incontinence and improve your quality of life.

One of the first steps in treating incontinence is identifying the underlying cause. There are several factors that can contribute to incontinence, including age, pregnancy, childbirth, prostate surgery, obesity as well as certain medications. Once the cause is identified, an appropriate treatment can be recommended.

Leakage can occur through activities such as coughing, laughing or through exercise. Pelvic muscle exercises, also known as Kegels, can be effective in strengthening the muscles that support the bladder and urethra. At Revive we specialise in providing specific exercises and provide relevant equipment to support the treatment and relevant exercise.

Physiotherapy is also a great alternative for the use of medical devices (e.g. pessary or a a catheter) or incontinence medications (e.g. anticholinergics).

At Revive we provide a caring, non-judgemental approach to incontinence.

In addition to specific incontinence exercises, there are also several lifestyle changes that can help manage incontinence. These include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding bladder irritants such as caffeine and alcohol and avoiding constipation by increasing fiber intake and staying hydrated. It is also important to use the bathroom when the urge to urinate arises, rather than holding it in.
