MENOPAUSE HELP

    What do you think holds the urine back?  Working muscles.  Women need testosterone to keep their muscles in good shape.  A decline in that hormone is partly why muscle mass diminishes with age in women.  Get your hormones tested to see if you are deficient in testosterone. You’ve also got to exercise, keep the blood flowing to those tissues and do the Kegels like you used to. But, whatever you do, keep moving and exercise. Dance around the living room or the bedroom.   If you keep those little muscles working you just may not have to get up in the night anymore except to enjoy better sex.  Wet your pants no more with effective hormone balancing.

Kegel Exercises
 “When properly and consistently done, these exercises have been found to help up to 75% of women overcome their SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence)"

Instructions
     Begin by squeezing the pubococcygeous muscle, the one you use to stop the stream of urine. Isolation of the PC muscle is important.   If you are also tightening your buttock, abdominal, or thigh muscles at the same time, it may exaggerate the problem. So don’t do that.

     Build up to tightening the muscle to the count of ten and then relaxing to the count of five.   Do this five times, three times per day.   Results are noticeable in about six weeks, however, as in any exercise it must be continued to remain effective.  This will also lead to better sex.
