It’s only natural for those who experience incontinence, or the unintentional leakage of urine, to want to kick their symptoms or find a way to overcome them. But often times, these incontinence issues are triggered by the way one lives more than anything else. For instance, certain foods that you eat and liquids that you drink can trigger incontinence symptoms or make existing symptoms even worse.
One such thing that can trigger incontinence is the moderate to excessive consumption of alcohol. Here’s a closer look at how and why:
Alcohol is what’s called a “diuretic.” Specifically, a diuretic is defined as a substance that increases, or helps to increase, the production of urine. This can thereby help contribute to urge incontinence, as you’ll produce more urine with the more alcohol you consume. You may have heard of the term “breaking the seal” when it comes to drinking alcohol. This refers to the fact that you’re likely to be urinating often after the initial urination when drinking.
What’s more is that regular alcohol consumption can also act as an irritant on the bladder, which can present issues for those with overactive bladders. Here’s some more information on the link between alcohol and incontinence:
So if you’ve just started experiencing incontinence, it’s important to first analyze your lifestyle before you jump to any conclusions about your overall well being. Often times, simple lifestyle modifications can greatly reduce incontinence issues. It’s just a matter of taking a look at your habits and lifestyle to determine where modifications or changes need to be made. However, if symptoms persist following lifestyle adjustments, then the best course of action is to seek the advice of your medical professional.
