Varieties of pathology

The complexity of incontinence lies in the fact that there are many reasons for the occurrence of this disease. Initially, it is necessary to determine them, and only then determine which tablets from incontinence to appoint to the patient. In each individual case, individual therapy is required, which positively affects the body. Physicians distinguish several varieties of uncontrolled urination:

• involuntary stress urination occurs in almost half of patients. Urine is released during laughter, sneezing, coughing, or during physical exertion. This disorder occurs with increased intra-abdominal pressure, which appears due to a decreased amount of collagen in the pelvic ligaments;
• Urgent incontinence is observed in 20% of patients. This pathology is marked by a sharp urge to urinate and spontaneous release. The leakage of urine can occur simultaneously with the urge or after it. The ailment arises from the increased pressure inside the bladder and the reduced pressure of the urethra;
• a mixed type is diagnosed in almost 30% of patients. The disease manifests itself with laughter, coughing or sneezing, simultaneously with which there is a strong urge to urinate. The illness appears for the reasons listed above;
• incontinence caused by additional diseases of the urinary system, with diabetes or spinal disorders;
• an arbitrary urination can develop as an adverse event after taking medications.

At the reception the specialist will collect all the necessary data on the patient's condition. After that, a course of examinations will be assigned to help determine the cause, the development of incontinence. And only on the basis of the received data the doctor will be able to determine how to treat the disease and individually select the best scheme of therapy.

Urinary incontinence - tablets for men

The main causes of incontinence in men are age-related changes, stress and various diseases of the genitourinary system (adenoma, impotence, kidney stones and various infections). Typically, some diseases respond well to treatment, but others take time, as incontinence can simply be one of the symptoms. However, in order to reduce the frequency of voluntary urination, the attending physician may recommend special tablets. Today, there are a lot of such drugs, below are the most effective ones:

• Alpha-blockers stimulate relaxation of the prostate and bladder. Thanks to such properties, urine output is normalized. Such drugs are prescribed if a benign prostate tumor is detected (Gitrin, Zoxon, Omnik, Kardura, Dalphaz, Omsulosin, Setegis);
• Blockers of 5-alpha reductase. The composition of medicines includes finasteride and dutasteride. Tablets effectively normalize the size of the prostate gland, which can significantly reduce the random urination (Penester, Finast, Avodart, Proserid);
• antidepressants tricyclic on the basis of imipramine. Drugs qualitatively relax the muscle tissue and stop the nerve impulses that provoke a spasm in the bladder (Depsonil, Apo-Imipramine, Priloygan, Tofranil);
• spasmolytic drugs quickly relax the muscles and reduce the frequency of convulsions in the bladder (Driptan, Enableks, Detrusitol, Pro-Bantin, Detroil LA).

If the disease did not cause serious disturbances in the body, the specialist can recommend homeopathic preparations based on natural herbs. It is recommended to take Enuran, Super Optimal or Urylan. All drugs should be prescribed only by a doctor, he takes into account the general condition of the patient and will be able to recommend the best therapy.

Involuntary urination - drugs for women

After examination and complete diagnosis, the doctor will be able to establish an accurate diagnosis, on the basis of which it is possible to prescribe effective therapy. The reasons for the development of urinary incontinence are many, so a thorough examination will allow her to identify and begin therapy. As a rule, the doctor prescribes such drugs, depending on the pathogen:

• a group of antidepressants qualitatively relieves tension in the muscles of the urethra. Due to this effect, the urge to urinate greatly decreases, and the ability to retain urine develops (Duloxetine, Imipramine);
• antispasmodic drugs, effectively relieve inflammation, increase the time interval of urine accumulation and control nerve impulses in the walls of the bladder (Driptan, Spazmex, Oxibutinin);
• hormonal tablets are prescribed with a shortage of the female hormone estrogen. Typically, this complication occurs during menopause. Admission of hormonal drugs will resume the normal work of the genitourinary system and helps to eliminate incontinence (Desmopressin);
• anticholinergic drugs contribute to the contractile activity of the muscular system in the urethra, which does not allow the urine to be excreted (Ephedrine).

Drugs for urinary incontinence should be prescribed only by a doctor. All of them have a number of contraindications, so you should not engage in self-medication, but rather entrust your health specialist. All drugs that help control the allocation of urine should be taken no more than 1-2 months. All of them are addictive and eventually cease to have an initial effect. It is important to regularly change and correctly choose a course of treatment.
