Usually sneezing and leaking occurs in cases of stress urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence is a relatively common condition among middle-aged and older women. The main symptom of this condition is an increase in pressure in the abdomen and lack of urethral control during conditions such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects or walking up stairs, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine from the urethra. Pelvic floor muscle laxity is associated with decreased estrogen and degenerative urethral sphincter disease, and other common conditions in older adults, such as diabetes, can also lead to urinary incontinence.
If symptoms are mild, you can just do functional exercises to work the pelvic floor muscles. There are many ways to do this. A common one is to do anal lifting exercises. When you have the urge to urinate, you can sit on the toilet, try to hold your urine, control not to urinate first, and extend for 5-10 minutes at a time to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. If the effect of functional exercise is still not satisfactory, you can consider going to the hospital to do suspension surgery of the urethra to increase the resistance of the urethra. The diet must be light in taste to avoid urinary tract infections that can lead to uncontrolled leakage of urine.
