[Stress Urinary Incontinence] If you leak urine when you cough, you should check for stress urinary incontinence

  • Key points
  • Ulsan Stress urinary incontinence is a condition in which urine leaks when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.
  • Unlike symptoms such as a burning sensation or frequent urge to urinate—which are typical of cystitis—this condition often occurs when increased abdominal pressure weakens the pelvic floor muscles and the support for the urethra.
  • Ulsan The most important thing when consulting about stress urinary incontinence is not to look at just one symptom in isolation.

[Digestive System] If You Experience Recurring Nausea and Gagging, Check Your Autonomic Nervous System as Well

  • Repeated feelings of nausea and retching do not necessarily indicate an autonomic nervous system disorder.
  • Causes vary widely and may include gastroenteritis, reflux esophagitis, medication side effects, migraines, pregnancy, and ear disorders. If you experience weight loss, repeated vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain, dehydration, or new neurological symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential.
  • Some people experience an upset stomach when they wake up in the morning, feel the urge to retch before important events, and postpone meals because even a small amount of food makes them feel nauseous.

[Endometrial Adhesions] If Your Menstrual Flow Has Decreased and You’re Having Trouble Getting Pregnant, Here’s What to Check First

  • Endometrial adhesions refer to a condition in which the inner walls of the uterus stick together, which can affect the shape of the uterine cavity or the flow of menstrual blood.
  • If your menstrual flow has noticeably decreased or stopped following a D&C after a miscarriage, uterine surgery, or an intrauterine infection, or if you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an OB/GYN to determine whether an evaluation of the uterine cavity is necessary.
  • It can be concerning if your menstrual flow decreases significantly compared to before after a miscarriage or childbirth, or if you experience lower abdominal pain around your expected period but have almost no bleeding.

[Interstitial Cystitis] If your urine test results are normal but you experience recurring bladder pain, check for interstitial cystitis

  • Ulsan Interstitial cystitis may be suspected when a patient experiences recurring bladder pain, frequent urination, a sensation of incomplete emptying, and pelvic discomfort, even in the absence of a clear bacterial infection.
  • Rather than simply repeating antibiotic treatments as if it were a simple case of cystitis, it is important to consider the results of the urinalysis, the location of the pain, and any connections to diet, stress, and the menstrual cycle.
  • It’s frustrating when you experience frequent urges to urinate and lower abdominal discomfort—similar to a urinary tract infection—but are told your urine test results are normal.

[Bladder and Urinary Disorders] Ulsan If you have an overactive bladder and find it difficult to hold in sudden urges to urinate, you should identify the cause.

  • If you are suffering from urinary problems, you should try to identify the cause.
  • This is not merely a matter of frequently needing to urinate; it can also interfere with your daily life.
  • Since this may indicate a decline in function rather than an inflammatory issue, if the condition persists, we believe treatment for overactive bladder is necessary based on the symptoms and underlying causes, as described at Ulsan.
Korean medicine

[Residual Urine Sensation] If you don’t feel completely relieved after urinating, you should consider both residual urine sensation and bladder sensitivity.

  • Ulsan When consulting about a sensation of residual urine, it is important to distinguish whether the patient is actually unable to fully empty their bladder or whether they repeatedly experience a sensation of residual urine even though test results show minimal residual urine.
  • A sensation of incomplete bladder emptying may occur alongside cystitis, overactive bladder, urethral irritation, pelvic floor tension, constipation, menopausal mucosal changes, and stress.
  • By compiling the results of the urinalysis, the voiding diary, and information on whether you experience frequent urination, urinary urgency, or pain, we can examine the underlying cause in greater detail.
