Incontinence

It’s normal to have issues with urinary incontinence as you age. Ask your doctor about special exercises, called Kegels, to strengthen the muscles that support your bladder. To do Kegels, contract the muscles you use to stop urinating. Squeeze for 3 seconds and then relax for 3 seconds. Repeat 10 to 15 times, at least 3 times a day.
