A lot of the incontinence is caused majorly by stress while it is also proven that it is caused by the increased pressure from the fetus that is growing and the pressure it is putting on the bladder. The growing fetus puts pressure on majority of the abdominal and lower abdominal region of a woman 's body. The pressure may temporarily cause leakage during pregnancy. Not only the pressure of the fetus, there are associations of low pelvic floor muscle strength with stress urinary incontinence during pregnancy and postpartum. Many state that the prevalence of urinary incontinence rises during pregnancy and declines after childbirth. Research states that the prevalence of urinary incontinence is higher after delivery than before gestation (Mørkved and Bø, 1999). However, many are unaware that there is such an issue during …show more content…
The study was conducted in 1989 for a 6 month period. It consisted of 305 pregnant women between ages 17-41 with the median age of 26. These women were questioned about their urinary symptoms prior to being a part of the study. A few of the questions they were asked were: “1) whether they had urinary incontinence or frequency of voiding before, during pregnancy and/or after delivery; 2) whether incontinence was provoked by physical stress or accompanied by strong desire to void (urgency); c) whether they had daily incontinence; d) whether the incontinence had been a hygienic or social problem (Viktrup, 1999).” The researched defined frequency as voiding seven or more times during the day and two more times during the night. 293 women were interviewed (305 pregnant women originally conducted the questionnaire) three months after delivery giving time to obtain results for the postpartum period. Considering that the type of delivery could be a possible factor that influences research data when it comes to interpretation, the researchers consulted with the women about the type of

Shah addresses the reader with caring motives and understanding of how physically demanding and life-changing pregnancy can be. ‘’I am acutely aware that even women with healthy pregnancies can develop life-threatening hemorrhage, fetal distress, or other unanticipated emergencies during labor.’’ Shah recognizes the risk associated with pregnancy and tells the reader of his concerns. He even recognizes the amount of financial expenses and stress associated with C-sections. ‘’Nearly, half of the of the caesareans we do in the US currently appear to be

The challenge still lies in the severe under-reporting of urinary incontinence issues. After all, seniors cannot get help if nobody knows there is a problem. If your senior loved one may be having trouble with urinary incontinence, it is important that they have their situation investigated. A full third of overactive bladder issues may be linked to lower urinary tract infections. Not only could the bladder problem be quickly reversed with a UTI treatment, but the pain and discomfort of the UTI would be addressed as well.
The postpartum period is associated with mood disorders, with the most common being blues, postpartum depression and puerperal psychosis (Stewart, Robertson, Dennis, Grace, & Wallington, 2003). As stated by (Thurgoo, Avery, & Williamson, 2009), baby blues is the most prevalent at rates of 50-80%. The mood disturbance has a late onset and peaks on the fifth day but resolves within two weeks. It is characterized by frequent crying, fatigue, anger, sadness, irritability, and insomnia. On the other hand, postpartum psychosis is the worst form of postpartum mood disorders and is associated with delusions, hallucinations, rapid speech and mood swings, paranoia, agitation, inability to eat and sleep, racing thoughts, and, suicidal feelings.
The following is a case study of female client Patricia Miller had been diagnosed with overactive bladder syndrome. Overactive bladder is a complication with bladder storage function that causes sudden urination urgency. In normal person, nerve send the signal to the brain and trigger the detrusor muscle to contract when bladder is full while in overactive bladder person, brain response causes emptying of bladder by contraction of muscle even though bladder is not full. The urge to urinate will be painful to stop and overactive bladder causes forced loss of urine. When urinate, nerve signals coordinate the relaxation of the trigone muscles and the sphincter muscle.

Since the late 20th century, postpartum depression has affected “about 20% of women after giving birth” (Kalat 2008, pg. 440), but truly many more women than that suffer from this kind of depression. Postpartum depression can be moderate or severe in these women – whether it occurs up to three months after delivery of all the way up until a year after giving birth. The hormonal and non-hormonal changes in women is usually the signs that women show that they are leading into a depression. These women go through changes in their bodies during pregnancy, their social life, and most of all their worries about their ability to be a mother.

People who have a parent with incontinence are much more likely to develop it. Incontinence can also be caused by certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or an infection.

There is an increased incidence of nocturnal enuresis in children whose parents also had this condition. Both parents, 77%; one parent, 44%; neither parent 15%.-1 2- In monozygotic twins the concordance rate is 68 %; the rate for dizygotic twins is 36 %. The exact gene and what that gene encodes remain unclear.-3 B- MATURATIONAL DELAY:
Imagine your beautiful baby girl being born and finding out she has a birth defect affecting her quality of life forever. I was born with Bladder Exstrophy, a rare abnormality present at birth in which the bladder and associated structures are improperly formed and occur in 1 out of 50,000 births. Throughout my childhood I’ve had 14 surgeries to make my life as “normal” as can be. To manage my situation, it requires different techniques just to empty my bladder and to prevent serious infections. Recognizing the need to help me and support others with this anomaly, my parents organized a support group campout.
A lot of people commonly consider it the end to a pregnancy, but for some women it is just the beginning of something extremely dreadful. According to the Encyclopedia of Human Development, “postpartum depression is depression in mothers that occurs following the birth of their child” (1010). It is most common for mothers to develop it immediately following the birth, but it can be developed a few months after the birth of the child (Salkind, 1010). Either way, it can hit extremely hard and the excitement of having a child is ripped from the mind of the mother, only to be replaced by dark thoughts, depression, anxiety, etc. The length of postpartum depression varies though, based on which type you have and the severity of it.

The people in the study are the females encountering urinary incontinence problem whereas the main targeted result is the championing for urinary continence. The purpose of the essay is to assess the efficiency of the physiotherapy program to anticipate urinary incontinence in ladies three months after birth. This purpose is achievable, new, engrossing and appropriate to purpose. However, the honesty of this research is questionable.
when i read this artical there were parts that i have heard in all my training or personal research, But there are somethings that I agree with and/or don"t agree with.
