Have you ever peed a little whenever you went running, jumped, or even simply sneezed? Yep, it’s a thing and we’ve all been there.

It’s called urinary incontinence and it happens to all types of women — not just to those who’ve given birth or are entering menopause. While it’s a topic that’s not normally discussed, we’re here to tell you that there are simple and painless methods to help prevent this issue.

Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor
The stronger your pelvic floor, the more control you’ll have over your bladder.

Avoid Certain Foods
Try to drink less caffeine and consume less highly acidic foods as they are bladder irritants.

Up Your Fiber Intake
Constipation can sometimes lead to incontinence so add more fiber into your diet.

Try a Treatment
Dr. Rebecca Nelken recommends using ThermiVa, a vaginal tightening treatment that uses radio-frequency energy to gently heat tissue to rejuvenate collagen.

Quit Smoking
Smoking causes coughing which can make it more difficult to control your urine.

Even with these preventative methods, urinary incontinence is normal. 2/3 of women experience the effects of it — so you’re not alone!
