It's COMMON....yet not known by MANY

Here, lemme share something with you all ladies that you never think it will likely happen to you..............or not.

When you eat and drink, your body absorbs the liquid. The kidneys filter out waste products from the body fluids and produce urine. Urine travels down tubes called ureters into a muscular sac called the urinary bladder, which stores the urine.

When you are ready to go to the bathroom, your brain tells your system to relax. Urine travels out of your bladder through a tube called the urethra.

You release urine by relaxing the urethral sphincter and contracting the bladder muscles. The urethral sphincter is a group of muscles that tightens to hold urine in and loosens to let it out.

BUT there are some or many people lose urine when they don't want to. When this happens enough to be a problem, it is called Urinary Incontinence (UI).

Research shows ten million Americans of all ages is suffering from this problem. Most peeps feels embarassed to talk about it, frustrated, exhausted, isolated and being left out. They afraid to socialize and do not know this problem can be treated and even cured. YES, fear not...this is not somekind of uncurable deadly disease like HIV, rotting for the whole life.

UI is very common yet not known by many other . It's not a natural part of aging. It can happen at any age, and can be caused by many physical conditions. Thank God, many causes of incontinence are temporary and can be managed with simple treatment.

Some causes of temporary incontinence are: -

• Urinary tract infection
• Vaginal infection or irritation
• Constipation
• Effect of medicine

Some incontinence can be also caused by other conditions that are not temporary: -

• Weakness of muscles that hold the bladder in place
• Weakness of the bladder itself
• Weakness of the urethral sphincter muscles
• Overactive bladder muscles
• Blocked urethra
• Hormone imbalance in women
• Neurologic disorders
• Immobility

I got to know this Doctor at Penang through one of my student. Recently, he met a patient whom share the same fate with other 10 million suffering UI and has bothered her for some time. She was afraid to consult medical check up at first and could not concentrate her daily routine. Many women experience UI can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some women, the risk of public embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities with their family and friends. Some women may lose a few drops of urine while running or coughing. Others may feel a strong, sudden urge to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine. Pitiful~ Wetting their own pants might be abit troublesome ya..=p

Oh, urine loss can also occur during sexual activity which cause tremendous emotional distress. Hmm yea, imagine yourself having an intercourse with a lady, you're humping, and humping and keep humping and all of sudden her P *ahem* start spilling some watery liquid, you feel yourself mighty as Tarzan, king of the jungle being able to rock her till she reach orgasm discharging sweet nectar of God's creation. But the truth is, she tells you its a false alarm and the liquid dripping out is actually her juicy urine. You turn on the light seeing your 'member' fully soak like you're eating cheese fundae and find yourself in a dilemma whether wanna fire your cannon. Banana Dip, anyone? So, the next time you rocking, go slow, play safe. You don't wanna end up...what we call in Boleh-land POTONG STIM!!
