I am almost 7 weeks postpartum and it is getting worse - random leakage and stress incontinence. Is there anything I can do (I'm doing Kegel exercises regularly) to help it? Do estrogen creams help? Are there any support blogs? I find it physically and emotionally taxing.
Thank you.
better see a urologist
Keep exercising Kegel and empty your bladder more regularly. I have an 11 yr old and even now, I sometimes have incontinence when I sneeze. SO especially when I have a cold or during allegy season, I try to urinate more frequently. It helps because we tend to be too busy to toilet when we begin to feel the urge. Instead we "hold it in." Randon leakages I would report to a urologist.
