Focus on bladder weakness: Free lecture in Leonberg!

bladder weakness and bladder disorders are topics that many people are reluctant to talk about. But that doesn't have to be! On June 23, 2025 at 7 p.m., the Leonberg Hospital invites you to an informative lecture that deals with these frequent problems. Chief physician Arkadiusz Praski from the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics will inform the audience about therapy options and talk about the causes that have long since affected older people. The event is not only free of charge, but also offers the opportunity to ask individual questions and to find out comprehensive information.

As the German continence society reveals, it initiates an annual action week to break the social taboo about incontinence. It becomes clear that the causes of an overactive bladder are diverse and range from uterine cuts to neurogenic bladder disorders in old age. Other speakers such as Mimoun Azii and Johannes Dlugosch will also speak and show how surgical continent therapies can help.

treatment methods for bladder weakness

How do you actually deal with bladder weakness? The good news is: in many cases it is easy to treat or even curable. In addition to conservative therapies such as behavioral and pelvic floor training, drug treatments can also be helpful. Toilet training is often in the foreground in older people. This includes defined and individual bladder emptying times and has the advantage that it is free of side effects.

Especially pelvic floor training is evident as valuable support for mild or moderate stress incontinence. Here it is advisable to practice under the guidance of a physiotherapist to achieve the best possible result. Additional measures such as electrostimulation or biofeedback are also available, whereby locally applied therapies, especially in women after menopause, can be useful.

But what can you do yourself? Here are a few effective exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor and thus potentially help:

• Taking the correct posture, while the pool is pulled inside and above.
• bend one leg in the side and also activate the pelvic floor.
• activate the pelvic floor in a back with bent legs and check the voltage.
• Run the wall up with small steps and let your breath flow.
• When kneeling the pelvic floor muscles.

These exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor and relieve the symptoms of bladder weakness. The effectiveness can vary, but with a little patience and regularity, many people are able to make remarkable progress.
