Urinary Incontinence Treatment
When we drink, we pee. However, there's more to urine than just the drink we had earlier. We urinate in order to get rid of the toxins, waste, and excess water that our body doesn't need. Urinary control is a function of the smooth muscle tissue of the urethra and bladder in coordination with the skeletal muscle and the autonomic nervous system.
Stress incontinence – loss of bladder control may happen when you laugh, sneeze, or lift heavy objects.
Urge incontinence – overactive bladder makes you feel like going to the bathroom even if you have little urine in your bladder.
Causes of urinary incontinence may be congenital or acquired disorders, such as prostate problems and nerve damage.
In addition to medication, treatment includes simple exercises, special devices and procedures, depending on your lifestyle. A relatively new procedure in treating men with incontinence resulting from prostate cancer treatment is the Male Sling. It's an out-patient procedure that can take less than half an hour to one hour. This minimally invasive procedure allows men to regain urinary control.

A Yoga For Arthriis Pain Relief
Yoga is known to have a relaxing effect on the mind and body. It is this relaxing effect that makes yoga a very good pain relief exercise. It is often suggested to people with chronic pain conditions.
But if you're suffering from arthritis, wouldn't practicing yoga be difficult, considering that yoga's full of difficult poses that require you to twist your body in a certain position? That's kind of hard for someone with stiff, achy joints.
Yoga helps improve circulation and make the bones and muscles stronger. You can do it without having to exert your body so much. Yoga is more than just the poses, it's also about breathing and meditation.
These days, modified yoga poses and exercises have been created to provide arthritics with the full pain relief benefits of yoga, some of which require the use of accessories to perform. For more information on these modified yoga exercises, inquire with your local yoga instructor.
Just because you're arthritic, it doesn't mean that you should lessen the amount of exercise you get. You should, in fact, include it in your daily schedule to prevent further stiffening of the joints which will make moving around more difficult for you.
