Many Factors

I am going to discuss the challenging topic of incontinence. Although, many people don’t like to admit it or discuss this topic due to embarrassment. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Incontinence can happen to both women and men it usually happens when you sneeze, laugh or even bend over. For many of us women we may have experienced it when has we were pregnant due to weight of baby sitting on your bladder. Many women start to experience incontinence over the age of 40 well into menopause. Although as men age they can also experience incontinence as well.

Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles

The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder and help control urination. When these muscles are weakened, it can lead to functional incontinence, as individuals may struggle to hold urine long enough to reach the bathroom. This weakness can be due to various factors, including aging, childbirth, prolonged periods of inactivity, prolapsed bladder, bladder neck issues, and muscle relaxant use may also contribute to this condition.

Reasons for Incontinence

This could be due to prolapsed bladder we can refer you to a urologist, but many times, it is usually due to hormonal imbalance due to a decrease of essential estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.

Ways to Help with Incontinence

Keep Hormones Balanced

It is essential to keep hormones balanced to help with incontinence and healthy aging and longevity. If you don’t keep your hormones balanced can lead to other chronic conditions. Doing bio identical hormones or hormone creams can help with manage incontinence and other symptoms with menopause and andropause.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

This is a cornerstone of most incontinence management plans, involving exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the bladder and urethra, often guided by a physical therapist using biofeedback techniques.

Dietary Adjustments

Reducing bladder irritants like caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods can help manage incontinence symptoms.

Fluid Management

Maintaining a consistent fluid intake throughout the day and avoiding excessive fluid intake close to bedtime can be beneficial.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Keeping a healthy weight can alleviate pressure on the bladder and enhance bladder control. This approach contributes to better overall urinary function and may help mitigate issues related to incontinence.

Stress Reduction Techniques

Mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing can help manage stress which can contribute to incontinence symptoms.

Scheduling Bathroom Visits

Creating a consistent bathroom routine can aid in minimizing accidents and alleviating the urgency often linked to functional incontinence. Regularly scheduled visits to the restroom enhance overall bladder management.

Supplements to Help with Bladder Health

Description

Biote UROX+, Biote’s premier nutraceutical for bladder health, contains a proprietary blend of three gentle herbals traditionally used for bladder health:

· The stem of the horsetail plant (Equisetvum arvense) , which contains a high level of silicon. Silicon helps produce collagen that builds the bladder’s connective tissue, supporting overall bladder health.

· Lindera, widely used in Chinese and Japanese medicine for bladder and kidney support for hundreds of years, improves the muscle that is the major control for emptying the bladder.

· And Cratevox, prized in India for its many healing properties since at least 800 BC, supports bladder, kidney, and prostate health.

Biote UROX+ can minimize feelings of urgency, reduce the frequency of urination and even lesson or end leaks and other accidents by improving bladder tone and pelvic floor muscles.

Who can benefit from Biote UROX+?

1 in 4 people will experience bladder problems in their lifetimes, particularly as they age. Biote UROX+ is likely to benefit anyone with bladder difficulties:

· Postpartum women

· Women of any age who do intense physical workouts

· Menopausal or post-menopausal women

· Men of any age experience bladder problems, many of which are erroneously assumed to result from prostate issues.

Biote UROX Studies

In a double-blind trial, 142 men and women over age 18 were monitored for up to 8 weeks, with 73 randomly assigned to receive a placebo and 69 to receive Biote UROX+. After 4 weeks, the UROX+ group had statistically fewer daytime bathroom visits, compared to the placebo group.

At 8 weeks, the Biote UROX+ group needed 33% fewer daytime visits, 46% fewer nighttime visits, and reported 61% less daytime urgency, all statistically superior to taking the placebo.

How does it work?

Biote UROX+ was developed in Australia more than 20 years ago, and is a patented combination of three herbals — Horsetail, Linera and Cravetox. This proprietary blend is believed to work mainly by improving the tone of the bladder and pelvic floor muscles.

The stem of horsetail (Equisetvum arvense) has been a traditional medicine in numerous countries since ancient times. It contains s variety of beneficial substances, but is unique among herbals for its high content of silicon, a mineral linked to collagen integrity in humans.

Collagen is essential for building the bladder’s connective tissue architecture, which facilitates the proper relaxation and contraction of the bladder muscles and helps maintain the “pelvic floor” zone in which the bladder is housed. Biote UROX+ contains an extra allowance of horsetail, to provide additional silicon for its bladder benefits.

Lindera aggregata root bas been a mainstay for bladder and kidney support in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine for hundreds of years. In studies with mice it improved the function of the bladder detrusor muscle, the major control for voiding of the bladder contents.

The three-leaf caper (Cratava nurvala) has been prized in India for is versatile healing properties since at least 800 BC. The stem bark has long been prized for its support of bladder and kidne health, and also supports prostate health. The Cratevox preparation in Biote UROX+ also likely pr0motes heathy bladder muscle tone.
