Bladder Health Promotion Community Awareness Presentation Content contributions provided by: Society of Urologic Nurses (SUNA) Simon Foundation for Continence
Slide 2-

This presentation will review common bladder health concerns, their treatments and ways to prevent them. These concerns include: Urinary Tract Infections Urinary Incontinence Bladder Cancer
Slide 3-

Urinary System Urine: is formed in the kidneys and moves down the 2 ureters to the bladder. Bladder: stores and eliminates urine Detrusor: muscle of the bladder contracts and pushes the urine out during urination. Urethra: tube from the bladder that carries urine out of the body. Pelvic floor muscles: a sling of muscles that surround and press on the urethra to maintain urine in the bladder.
Slide 4-

Bladder Function When you are ready to urinate, the brain relays a signal to the sphincter to relax and open and a signal to the bladder to contract. After you urinate, the sphincter closes tightly and the bladder relaxes and the refilling can resume.

Urinary Tract Infections
Slide 6-

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) ● A UTI is an infection anywhere in the urinary tract. ● Your urinary tract includes the organs that collect and store urine and release it from your body. ● They are the kidneys ureters bladder urethra
Slide 7-

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI’s) • Painful urination • Cloudy, foul smelling urine • Irritative symptoms (frequency, urgency &/or bladder pressure) Signs and Symptoms may include any or all of the following: • Urine leakage • Blood in the urine • Fever • Feeling tired and achy • Confusion in elderly
Slide 8-

Risks Factors for UTI’s ● Pregnancy and Childbirth ● Gender ● Sexual Activity ● Enlarged prostate or prostate infection ● Physical abnormalities, ie., strictures, birth defects ● Weakened immune systems
Slide 9-

Prevention of UTI’s ● Maintain proper fluid intake. If you suspect an infection-increase fluid intake, especially water ● Women should wipe from front to back after passing urine to avoid contamination ● Wear cotton undergarments ● Shower regularly, gently pat dry completely
Slide 10-

Treatment of UTI’s ● Contact your healthcare provider for evaluation and possibly medication ● Treatment may include antibiotics and pain relievers ● Common over the counter pain relievers can decrease aches and fever ● Cranberry capsules ● Increase fluid intake especially water
Slide 11-

Bladder Control : Urinary Incontinence
Slide 12-

Urinary Incontinence Definition: Any uncontrolled loss of urine of any amount Urgency and frequency of urination are not considered incontinence unless there is loss of bladder control, even a few drops of urine.
Slide 13-

Types of Incontinence ● Stress – leakage of urine due to an increase in abdominal pressure with sneezing, laughing, lifting or changing position ● Urge – leakage of urine with a strong urge to urinate, usually on the way to the bathroom ● Mixed – a combination of Stress and Urge incontinence
Slide 14-

Overactive Bladder (OAB) Frequency (8 or more times/day) Urgency of urination Nocturia (getting up 2 or more times at night) +/- incontinence
Slide 15-

Types of Incontinence Cont. ● Overflow incontinence (a flaccid or enlarged bladder) occurs when the bladder can’t fully empty ● This can occur from an enlarged prostate in men, diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury &/or other neurologic diseases as well as side effects of medications
Slide 16-

Signs and Symptoms of UI ● Stress-leakage of urine with physical activities, exercise, coughing, laughing or sneezing ● Urge- strong urge to urinate followed by uncontrollable leakage ● Mixed- leakage of urine with both an urge to urinate and activities as listed above ● Overflow-leakage of urine with a full bladder or a need to strain when passing urine
Slide 17-

Risk Factors for Incontinence ● Congenital defects ● Limited mobility ex. inability to get to the bathroom) ● Pregnancy ● Menopause ● Enlarged prostate ● Obesity ● Constipation ● Medications (ex. diuretics and sedatives) ● Cigarette smoking ● Diet (caffeine, alcohol, poor fluid intake) ● Surgery (ex. Prostatectomy) ● Disease (ex. Parkinson’s, MS, diabetes, spinal injuries ● Urethral strictures
Slide 18-

Prevention of Incontinence ● Work with urology healthcare professionals to determine an appropriate voiding schedule ● Take time to empty your bladder completely ● Be aware of how certain medications effect your bladder control ● Learn how to correctly perform pelvic floor exercises (kegels)
Slide 19-

Prevention of Incontinence ● Attend lectures, seminars and health fairs to learn more about the treatment options for maintaining control
Slide 20-

Treatments for Stress Incontinence ● Lifestyle changes: weight loss, reducing dietary irritants, smoking cessation ● Pelvic floor muscle exercises ● In women, pessary placement ● Injection of bulking agent ● Surgical treatments include: artificial urinary sphincter, bladder neck suspension, and urethral sling
Slide 21-

Treatments for Urge Incontinence ● Fluid management (time and amount of fluid, limiting alcoholic and caffeine beverages) ● Dietary management and weight reduction ● Pelvic floor muscle exercises ● Bladder retraining ● Medications ● Surgical : Sacral nerve stimulators and dennervation surgery; Botox
Slide 22-

Treatment for Overflow Incontinence ● Surgical repair of urethral strictures ● Remove or reduce obstruction ● Scheduled timed voiding ● Clean intermittent catheterization

Risks Factors for Bladder Cancer People that handle rubber, chemicals, and leather, as well as hairstylists, machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers, and truck drivers are at higher risk.
Slide 28-

● Limiting exposure to cancer causing chemicals in the workplace can decrease the risk of bladder Prevention of Bladder Cancer ● If you smoke: STOP!!!!! Smokers are 2-3-times more likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers
Slide 29-

Treatment for Bladder Cancer ● A specialized doctor called a Urologist will discuss your treatment options. ● Options may include - Surgical removal of the tumor - Bladder instillations to destroy cancer cells on the bladder lining surface ● After surgery, treatment and monitoring to prevent recurrence will be discussed.
Slide 30-

Promoting Bladder Health
Slide 31-

Promoting Bladder Health ● Drink 6-8 cups of fluid daily, preferably water ● Limit the use of alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, high sugar, citric/spicy foods ● Maintain weight, good posture and hygiene ● Keeping other medical conditions under control ● Be aware of medications that may lead to incontinence (e.g., diuretics and sedatives)
Slide 32-

Promoting Bladder Health ● Learn how to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by doing pelvic floor exercises ● Work with your health care provider on timed scheduled voiding ● Avoid constipation by eating a high fiber diet ● Report changes in bladder habits, frequency, urgency, pain or blood in the urine to your healthcare professional
Slide 33-

Promoting Bladder Health ● Keep a cup for drinking near bathroom and kitchen sinks as reminders to drink ● Reduce drinking fluids in the evening to decrease nighttime urination ● Drink enough fluid for urine to be clear ● Drink evenly throughout day, not all at once

Bladder Health Promotion is an important concern for everyone Thank you for your attention
