Loss of bladder control and sport: What can I do?
It seems like certain types of sports favors incontinence… TRUE. Sport can apply pressure on the pelvic floor. Urinary leakage can occur if your pelvic floor doesn’t contract strong or fast enough.
Sports fans prevent loss of bladder control
Practicing gym, CrossFit, running, horse riding, trampoline, or jumping rope are not recommended if you suffer from a weak pelvic floor. They can worsen urinary leakage. If you do regularly those types of sport, you should think about training your pelvic floor to avoid problems like Sandrine, who gave her private feedback!
What sport to choose in case of stress incontinence?
After giving birth or in case of leaks while practicing an intense sport, you should focus on sports such as cycling, swimming, or doing pilates that don’t apply pressure on the pelvic floor, and that don’t require jumping. When you’re able to control your pelvic floor, collective sports like tennis, running, Zumba etc. can be envisioned.
