Dear Lynette,
I would recommend that you speak to your doctor to ensure the infection is treated and completely cleared up. On many occasions once the infection has been treated, any bladder weakness experienced should be cured.

If your accidents tend to be happenning more when you cough or sneeze, it may indicate that you need to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Visit http://www.poise.com.au/bladder-control/pelvic-floor-exercise for tips.

In the meantime, by using products like Poise, you can have the confidence to get out and about knowing that you are protected from any accidents. Poise products are specifically designed the faster flow of bladder weakness and are three times more absorbent than sanitary product equivalents. Also ensure you drink plenty of water even if that may seem counter-intuitive to your needing to go to the toilet frequently. Drinking less water will not actually help with any bladder weakness condition.
