Autumn Tips for Managing Urinary Incontinence in Men: Stay Active and Confident

As the autumn season rolls in, the cooler weather and changes in routine can present new challenges for men managing urinary incontinence. Whether you’re dealing with leaks after prostate surgery or age-related bladder changes, it’s important to adjust your management plan to stay comfortable and confident during the fall months.

Stay Active with Outdoor Activities

The crisp fall air is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, or even taking long walks. Staying active can help manage weight and improve bladder control which both assist managing urinary incontinence. It’s also an opportunity to strengthen pelvic muscles, which can aid in reducing leaks over time.

However, if you’re concerned about exercising while dealing with incontinence, planning ahead is key. Wear absorbent products or explore more discreet options that offer security without limiting your movement.

They will confirm the type of leaking you have and be able to support you in finding the right solution.
