Wed, Mar 16, 2022

We all know the dreadful feeling of needing the bathroom suddenly to empty the bladder while having coffee with friends or while out shopping, and how humiliating and embarrassing it is to be caught short and leak urine. Imagine the awful feeling with an overwhelming urge to empty your bladder, or needing to cough or sneeze and not making it to the bathroom in time and leaking urine. Worse still is the fear of not being able to control stool or gas. New mothers (and some not so new mothers) up and down the country are dealing with these awful problems. Help is available to give yourself back your freedom without fear of bladder leaks.

Progressive pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first line treatment for incontinence (CG171 NICE Guideline 2016). Two thirds of women with any type of incontinence who have pelvic floor muscle training see improvements or cure, with 75 per cent of women reporting resolution of symptoms such as episodes of incontinence (National Institute of Research doi:10.33310/signal-000702). That is, two out of three women will be cured of incontinence with pelvic floor muscle training.

Low back pain vs a low back problem — is there a difference?

Thu, Feb 17, 2022

Your "back pain" might be a misnomer. We often confuse pain for a problem. Doctors often do not help matters by not doing thorough examinations, and just offering a prescription of pain pills or anti-inflammatory drugs when the patient comes in with a complaint of pain.

So what is the difference? The pain is part of the problem you are experiencing, but it is not the actual cause — the problem that is producing the pain. If you tell a doctor you have back pain, this should be the starting point for a complete examination to determine its cause. Is it a problem with the disc (a cartilage ligament that separates the vertebrae)? Is the problem more a muscle strain? Do the joints of the spine move in a free and symmetrical pattern? Is the problem coming from somewhere completely different?
