May is Incontinence Awareness Month – Let’s Talk About Bladder Health!
Incontinence is more common than you think, affecting millions of people of all ages. Despite this, it often goes unspoken due to stigma or embarrassment. At YUA Yakima, we believe that no one should have to struggle in silence.
If you or a loved one experience bladder control challenges, know that there are solutions. From lifestyle adjustments and pelvic floor therapy to medical treatments, there are many ways to improve bladder health and regain confidence.
This month, let’s break the silence and raise awareness! If you have questions or want to explore management options, our team is here to help.
Your health matters—let’s start the conversation! #IncontinenceAwarenessMonth #BladderHealth #YUAYakima

Bladder Health Tips:
Stay Hydrated:
Drinking enough water supports bladder function, but avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, which can irritate the bladder.
Maintain a Healthy Weight:
Excess weight can put added pressure on the bladder, worsening incontinence symptoms.
Practice Pelvic Floor Exercises:
Strengthening these muscles through Kegel exercises can improve bladder control.
Follow a Balanced Diet:
Certain foods, like spicy dishes and artificial sweeteners, can irritate the bladder. Opt for nutrient-rich options instead.
