Disease-I Am Peeing In My Pants Without Realising: Is It A Bladder Infection?

No need to feel ashamed of it. Not being able to hold pee, or urinate in the pants without realizing can put a person in an extremely awkward situation. But did you know it can be a sign that you are suffering from something extremely serious? Yes, you read that right. Be it adults or young ones, urinating without your knowledge is a sign that the body is giving up when something is terribly wrong with your urinary tract or bladder. Today, in this article, we will look at what causes a person to pee in their pants without any control. 'I Was Ashamed To Talk About It To Others' Speaking to TheHealthSite, Shreeya Patel, a 50-year-old housewife said that she often finds her pants wet in the middle of the day, while she is simply sitting. "Even a casual sneeze or a heavy laugh makes me wet my pants. Initially, I thought I am aging, and I was very sad. Later, when I shared the same with my doctor, he suggested I get some tests done. Results showed me that my bladder was inflamed due to some infection, which is why the urine incontinence was happening." "Urine incontinence is not a matter of shame, one should take the condition seriously before it is too late. Not being able to hold your pee can mean that there is something wrong with the urinary tract. It can be either inflamed due to some infection, or some as serious as an overactive bladder. Taking the sign seriously and getting checked by a doctor is important to save yourself from suffering anything severe in the future," says Dr. Banerjee.Why Are You Peeing In Your Pants?

When do you face it the most? Something as simple as sneezing during an allergy fit or jumping during a cardio workout class could cause urine to leak out.
