Prevention from Incontinence



• To prevent incontinence you should ensure that you are at a healthy weight because issues such as being overweight or obese tend to aggravate urinary incontinence.

• Incontinence can also be prevented by ensuring that you schedule a specific time for your bowel movements and ensure that you do not strain excessively while having the bowel movement.

• Physical activity also helps greatly and is particularly important for strengthening the muscles and improving the digestive process.
