Deal with constipation.

Straining to empty your bowels weakens your pelvic floor muscles and makes leakage worse. Never delay the urge to empty your bowels.

If you have constipation, it may help to change your diet and lifestyle.

Visit our Incontinence Centre for more on managing this condition.
