Incontinence

"Incontinence"

About: Eddercliffe Centre

(as the patient),

I suffered quite badly from incidents of wetting myself when sneezing or coughing but after visiting Julia at Eddercliffe Health Centre and been given some pelvic floor exercises I'm now not exactly cured but certainly a whole lot better than I was. I'm now no longer fearful when I cough or sneeze of wetting myself and having to hide wet patches on my outer clothing (skirts/trousers) and can once again go about my day to day activities in a confident manner. All thanks to Julia Xxxx

Hi there

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this feedback. We are delighted to hear that spending time with Julia has made such a difference to you. Many people don't want to talk about these issues and suffer on in silence - I am sure by posting your story you will encourage other people to come and seek help and support from our continence team.

We have shared your post with Julia who is over the moon that you feel so positive.

Thanks again and very best wishes.

Sarah

Thank you so much for the feedback. Many people think that pelvic floor exercises aren't going to help improve problems with bladder leaks.

The truth is that many women's symptoms get better if they have their muscles assessed and if they are then given the most appropriate exercises.

Keep up the good work and the improvement should continue!
