Bladder leaking after vaginal birth

Posted by TexasMom @texasmom14, Sep 5, 2015

Last year I had a vaginal birth. Before I got pregnant I had a hard time with sex because my lady parts are small. Since having my daughter I haven't had sex yet but I have used a vibrator and I don't have the same issues I did before. However, I discovered that now I pee when doing this. It happens whether I orgasm or not. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I have also had some leaking issues since giving birth, but there's always an action, like sneezing or coughing, that causes it. I assume it has to do with the muscles in that area, but I don't know what to do to prevent it. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Kegel exercises? You can google search and find lots of links, but I'll post one here from Mayo clinic. Good luck!

Thanks so much! I have tried (sort of), but I didn't have a good reference for how to do them. Now I do! Hopefully it will work!
