WHAT CAUSES LIGHT BLADDER LEAKAGE?
Light Bladder Leakage can happen to all kinds of women, and for all kinds of reasons. While it can occur at any stage of life, it's common during pregnancy and after childbirth, as pressure on the bladder weakens the pelvic floor muscles. While there are several types, the most common type of incontinence that affects women is stress incontinence. Other common types of female incontinence are urge and overflow incontinence.
If you're experiencing menopause, light bladder leakage can occur due to your Oestrogen levels dropping, affecting the elasticity of your pelvic floor muscles and the tissues supporting your bladder and the lining of your urethra. Prolapse is another condition that can bring about light bladder leakage.
Other causes of light bladder leakage can relate to any surgery you may have had on your pelvic floor. It can also occur as a result of medical issues within your body such as infections in the bladder or kidneys, a thyroid disorder or a neurological condition such as Parkinson's disease.
