There’s usually a couple of fluids flying around when it comes to having sex, but one you might not be expecting is pee.
Ashleigh Mason is a Holistic Physiotherapist & Mindset Coach with a special interest and training in Women’s Health Physiotherapy. She is passionate about educating and empowering women to feel strong & confident in their own bodies, unapologetically. We sat down with her to ask a few questions about incontinence and how it can affect your sex life.
In most cases, pelvic floor strengthening is the best treatment. A pelvic floor/continence physiotherapist (also sometimes referred to as women's health physiotherapists) would be able to assess your bladder and pelvic floor and provide you with an appropriate, tailored treatment plan. A urologist may also need to be involved in your care.
My best advice for anyone experiencing any type of incontinence is to seek help! 70% of people with urinary incontinence do not seek advice or treatment for their problem, which is devastating. Incontinence is a very common issue, but it is not “normal” and something you just have to live with. In the vast majority of cases it is manageable and often curable.
Some other helpful info that many people may not know about is that sexologists can help too. I spoke to Meg Callander, a Melbourne-based sexologist, about how sexologists can help people with coital incontinence/incontinence during sex. She said It is likely that there can be increased sexual shame and anxiety due to the incontinence, which could be leading to low sexual self esteem, low desire and sexual avoidance. A sexologist could help clients work with these issues, as well as helping them also diversify their sex life so they can find new ways to comfortably enjoy sexual pleasure, either without penetration or by finding ways to adapt penetrative sex.
