The human bladder can hold up to 500 ml of urine. The urge to visit the bathroom may start when the bladder fills around 200 ml. When the bladder looses its control, the urine may leak causing extreme discomfort and\u00a0embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>Overactive bladder, diabetes, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause are the different causes of urinary incontinence.

It is caused due to the damage to the anal sphincter muscles and nerves. Loss of storage capacity, diarrhea, pelvic floor dysfunction or diabetes may also cause fecal incontinence. \u00a0Constipation, muscle damage, nerve damage result in the condition.<\/p>\n<p>Consult your doctor if you notice extreme conditions and get help. In addition, here are some habits to avoid fecal incontinence:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Eating more fiber &#8211; Fruits, vegetables, oats are rich in fiber and try to get around 20 to 30 mg of fiber per day<\/li>\n<li>Avoiding high-caffeine beverages &#8211; Coffee, tea, coke, pepsi<\/li>\n<li>Practicing healthy bowel habits &#8211; Time it early in the morning \u00a0and once or twice per day as per your body<\/li>\n<li>Observing the bowel movements &#8211; Notice the changes and urges and do not postpone<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Further, proper diet, exercise, and appropriate medicines help treat fecal incontinence.<\/p>\n<p>Self monitoring and awareness is a must to treat urinary and fecal incontinence.
