What will the CNA likely recommend to help improve urinary incontinence?

Kegel exercises are specifically designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and other pelvic organs. By engaging in regular Kegel exercises, individuals can improve muscle tone in the pelvic area, potentially leading to greater control over urination. This increased strength can help reduce episodes of urinary incontinence.

The effectiveness of Kegel exercises in addressing urinary incontinence is widely recognized in both clinical practice and patient education. These exercises can be incorporated easily into daily routines and are a non-invasive, cost-effective method for managing symptoms. Additionally, they empower individuals to take an active role in their health, fostering independence and confidence.

Daily walks can promote overall health and improve bodily function, but they don’t target the specific muscles related to urinary control. Fluid restriction can be necessary in specific scenarios, but it may not be a long-term solution, as restricting fluid intake can lead to dehydration and other issues. Medication adjustments may be appropriate in certain circumstances but are often more complex and not the first line of action for urinary incontinence.
