Hereisaquicklistofthingsyoucandoonyourowntoloweryourriskofincontinence: Limit the amount of liquid you consume: If you drink a lot of fluids, just reducing your intake can be the key to giving your bladder a break. Reduce your fluid intake during the evening, in particular, to ensure a dry night's sleep leg bag for the catheter. To avoid being dehydrated, do not drastically reduce your intake. You run the risk of several issues if you become dehydrated, and you won't be helping your incontinence issue at all. The bladder will receive denser, heavier urine from the kidneys, and this added weightfrequently causes leakagevia the urethra.

  2. Skip the alcohol and coffee: Since both of these beverages are natural diuretics, they will naturally make you feel more compelled to urinate. Reduce your use of alcohol and cutback on coffee, tea,sodas, and chocolates. Foods that are acidic and spicy: Urinary incontinencecan be brought on by foods that irritate the bladder, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and nearly all spicy foods. If you enjoy spicy food or can't begin your day without a huge glass of orange juice, you may find it difficult to stick with this one. There are numerous self-care methods for treating urineincontinence, suchas Kegelexercises andbladder training.
