Can a back problem cause urinary incontinence?

User Avatar

Asked by Butterpoppy82

Hmmmm... To my knowledge, "Floaters" are located in the eye, and are generally more of a bother, than anything... They are small clusters of cells floating in the eye, and cause shadows on the retina of they eye (you see them when you're reading or staring at a blank space). They CAN mean a detached retina, and if this occurred suddenly, I'd suggest you see an eye doctor... A back problem CAN cause difficulty urinating, but usually you are having numbness in your legs & feet, trouble walking due to leg weakness, and (most likely) severe pains radiating into the legs as well (neurological damage of the spinal cord). So, if you're not having the problems of back pain WITH neurological deficits, I would would then think that perhaps you're having back pain as one problem and prostate problems as another... If prostate, you will have difficulty starting your stream, and the stream will be weak. You'll have to get up several times during the night to urinate and you won't feel as if you've completely emptied your bladder. One thing to keep in mind however. If you're having dull back pains without muscle spasms and pain with bending, twisting, or turning, I would urge you to see a doctor/PA/NP and get a check-up. Certain conditions affecting the prostate can also affect the bones, and need to be ruled out...

What is the New approach in management of stress incontinence?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We cant suggest any medicine or exercise as of now but we definitely propose some self-care guidance which will be helpful for you to manage your bladder disorder in a long run.

The ratio of women affected by incontinence is more common than we expect, every 1 woman in 3 starts facing urinary incontinence after a particular age or after childbirth, in such a scenario self-care could be a necessity for everybody to handle these sorts of bladder disorders. Bladder leakage pads, incontinence briefs, and some sort of self-management allow most of the ladies to independently handle things without bothering anyone else. Let’s discuss some of the major self-care guidance to manage stress incontinence.

Lifestyle changes

A Bladder dairy

Stock your incontinence supplies

Buying adult pull-ups, protective pads and panty liners will be helpful to manage your bladder disorder. Avoid the embarrassment by stocking enough supplies to last for months. Subscription for your incontinence supplies can be really helpful for those handling urine leakage to obviate the concerns of a last-minute rush. a range of bladder leakage products can efficiently handle your leakage from heavy to light bladder leaks.

Do flu shots prevent intestinal flu or do they just prevent the cold flu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The flu shot only prevents respiratory influenza. It does not prevent the gastrointestinal "flu" virus that makes you have GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea without the cough and respiratory symptoms of influenza. The flu that makes you throw up is not really influenza, it is just an illness that is also caused by a virus or "bug" (called viral gastroenteritis).

True seasonal respiratory influenza, on the other hand, if bad enough (or if you are very young or over 65) is more likely to cause severe complications or even death. The stomach virus usually doesn't result in the same severity, as long as dehydration is controlled by drinking plenty of liquids (and perhaps an occasional sports drink to replenish electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride).

The shots you get for seasonal influenza, and the flu vaccine to prevent the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu", are made for protection against respiratory influenza, not for the "stomach flu".

Fun facts: The intestinal flu is not really the flu. It has been incorrectly called that for a long time, but is actually called gastroenteritis and usually is caused by viral infections but might also be bacterial. Influenza (flu) is a respiratory disease that only rarely causes any gastrointestinal symptoms. A very common viral gastroenteritis is what most people call stomach flu, or they also call it Norwalk flu and is caused by a norovirus.

WikiPedia says:

"Norovirus (formerly Norwalk agent) is an RNA virus (taxonomic family Caliciviridae) that causes approximately 90% of epidemic nonbacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world, and may be responsible for 50% of all foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the US. Norovirus affects people of all ages. The viruses are transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact,and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces."

What is the name of the greenish-black substance found in the fetal pig's intestine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Liver juices

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not liver juices. Why would there be liver juices in the intestine?

Its called Meconium. Since it is a fetal pig, meaning that it was still in the placenta when it was killed (to be used as a dissection, of course), it didnt use the digestive system because it didnt eat. Instead, what when through the stomach and intestines was meconium. Meconium is like urine, water, hair, and any cells, mucus, and bile.

Hope this helped!
