Perimenopause. No one really prepares you for it; they just tell you “it’s a part of life”. Suddenly you’re dealing with hormone swings, waking up to pee, and maybe even leaking when you laugh or sneeze. Fun, right?
Discomfort, urgency, and leaking may be common during the transition to menopause, but they should never have to be accepted as the new normal. At OrthoPelvic PT, we understand how frustrating it feels to be told to “just deal with it”. Our weak bladder treatment in Northern Virginia doesn’t just treat your symptoms, we find and target the cause so you can feel strong and confident again.
Does Perimenopause Cause a Leaky Bladder?
Short answer – YES!
During perimenopause, estrogen levels drop which cause the tissue in the urethra and vagina to thin. This reduces the elasticity and control of the pelvic floor (something we all take for granted when we’re young), leaving it unable to effectively support the bladder.
When to Seek Weak Bladder Treatment in Northern Virginia
If adult diapers aren’t the vibe (and they rarely are), it may be time to give your pelvic floor the attention and care it deserves, especially during perimenopause. Planning your day around bathroom access, avoiding activities, or strategically crossing your legs for every laugh and sneeze are all signs your body is asking for support.
