Playing sports or managing P.E. lessons can be very difficult for teen incontinence sufferers. The exertion you put on your bowels or bladder is bound to make them leak a little. However, at your age, even a few drops can make you conscious, especially since you feel that you’re surrounded by other teens with x-ray vision or extremely sensitive noses. 

If these thoughts worry you and are forcing you to stop playing your favorite sport altogether, it will be hard to get rid of them so quickly. However, here’s a suggestion: be ready for these accidents. If you’re prepared, you won’t have to worry about someone finding out about your incontinence issues. So, here’s how you can enjoy your P.E. periods and any sports you play without a single care in the world.

Control Your Fluid Intake You can take as many fluids as you want while you exercise so that you don’t end up dehydrating. However, try reducing the amount of fluids you consume before a game or sports class. As you already know, you need 5-6 cups during school, so you can try having two before P.E. and the remaining three or four afterwards. Yet this isn’t a hard and fast rule, so find out on your own how much water you can retain without having an accident.

Visit the Bathroom before You Start Before class, make sure to head to the bathroom and empty your bladder or bowels. This is especially important if you’re taking part in a game. Regardless, double void (empty your bladder or bowel once, wait a few seconds, and then go at it again). Doing so will ensure that you don’t get the urge to go to the bathroom later on.

Discover Your Options for Protection If you’re a major player in your school’s sports team, all the pressure you receive can cause stress urinary incontinence. However, because you always have people around you, you may need to be a little careful. In this case, you should ask your doctor if they recommend urethral inserts. If you’re a girl, you can also go for a tampon since it too can support your bladder and stop your urethra from leaking urine. Yet, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE YOU GET ONE.

If your doctor advises against these measures, ask them to recommend less conspicuous incontinence products. There are numerous absorbent products which aren’t bulky or uncomfortable, and a good number of these can be perfect for sports.

Exercise Your Pelvic Floor Muscles Basically, what you need to do is start practicing holding your urine and feces so that they don’t slip out. Though it isn’t a simple process, a lot of practice and time will make you perfect at it. Simply schedule your bathroom visits and avoid going otherwise. You can also learn Kegel exercises as they have worked miracles for incontinence sufferers. Ask your physician about these so that you can start before your next game or P.E. class.

Remember and follow these tips to get the best experience while playing sports and to help your body receive the workout it needs to fight incontinence.
