Depending on your type of incontinence, small changes may help you regain control of your bladder.
- Tighten your pelvic floor. Kegel exercises involve repeatedly tightening and releasing your pelvic floor muscles for a few seconds, as if you were cutting off your pee. Aim to do three sets of 10 Kegels each day.
- Limit, coffee, tea, soda, and alcoholic drinks.
- Limit all liquids later in the day.
- Keep a healthy weight. Extra pounds put more pressure on your bladder.
- Time your bathroom trips. If you make bathroom breaks on a set schedule -- for instance, every hour -- it can help you regain control of your bladder muscles.
