When To See An Urologist

Some symptoms of urinary incontinence are common, such as urine leaks out improperly, or it's simply uncontrollable till you reach the washroom. However, many adults suffering from urinary incontinence may be ignorant to bladder problems or in refutation about how serious the causal issue might be, says urologist Dr. Kammela Sreedhar. Listed below are few lifestyle signs that you should visit a doctor. You will be then referred to an urologist (a doctor specializing in the urinary system) or a gynecologist (a doctor specializing in the female reproductive system, who also treats certain urinary problems).

Sign #1: You regularly wear sanitary pads even when you're not menstruating

Some women fall back on sanitary pads for menstruation to absorb the sporadic uncontrollable leakage that pours out while coughing, laughing too loud, lifting something, or even exercising -- or for leakage that emerges at random. Even after menopausal if you're still buying pads, or wearing sanitary pads on a regular basis even after your periods to absorb explosion of wetness, it might be urine that needs to be checked out.

Sign #2: You keep an extra piece of clothing stored in your bag

Preparing for malfunction is one thing. But if your worries regarding the malfunction focus on the possibility that you might wet your pants or lowers, and it has actually happened to you before -- you need not panic. These unsystematic acts of urinary incontinence aren't a typical sign of aging. A doctor can probably help discover the actual cause.

Sign #3: You avoid sexual intercourse

It is quite obvious that couples sometimes refuse for intercourse for many reasons, including those that initiate in the head and heart, and not just the body. However, one physical reason that can discomfit the couple to the point of avoidance is the badly timed emergence of urine.

Sign #4: You take rest to relieve a continuous, heavy pressure

Dr. Kammela says that Urinary system difficultiesaren't always addressed by noticeable urine. An importunate heaviness or an irritatingsensation of pressure around your plumbing -- urethra, vagina, vulva, andkidneys -- is always worth having checked out by a doctor.
