Prevención de la Incontinencia Urinaria en la Menopausia

Con esta finalidad es importante tener en cuenta 8 reglas, que se detallan a continuación:

• Primero, En la infancia, malos hábitos miccionales.
• Segundo, En el embarazo, limitar la ganancia ponderal y realizar una educación perineal.
• Tercero, En el parto, el período expulsivo ha de ser con vejiga vacía, evitar las expresiones abdominales y prevenir los desgarros perineales.
• Cuarto, En el postparto, implantar unos ejercicios perineales antes que los ejercicios de recuperación de los músculos abdominales.
• Quinto, En histerectomías, reinsertar los ligamentos a cúpula vaginal.
• Sexto, En cirugía de prolapso, considerar la posibilidad de incontinencia urinaria enmascarada.
• Séptimo, En la menopausia, indicar hormonoterapia sustitutiva.
• Octavo, En general, combatir los factores de aumento crónico de la presión intraabdominal como estreñimiento pertinaz u obesidad.
