What Causes Frequent Urination And Bloating During Menopause?

Hello, Since almost a year I wake up in the morning and my body is bloated all over (feet to face) and during the morning period I urinate frequently. I m 51 and never had a weight problem and now I m going to the gym 3 days/week and don t seem to slim down . I started my menopause 6 months to 8 months ago and I think that may be the cause of all this. What do you think?

Hello dear,my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Advanced age, which usually coincides with menopause, also has various debilitating effects on the pelvic area organs and tissues. Symptoms include
- the need to urinate more frequently,
-the inability to control urination (incontinence), -dryness and itching in the vagina, and
- increased urinary tract infections.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Tighten your pelvic floor with Kegel exercises (search on google how to do them)
- Coffee, tea, soda, and alcoholic drinks may cause your bladder to fill quickly, then leak.
-Limit liquids later in the day
-Keep a healthy weight.
-Time your bathroom trips. If you make bathroom breaks on a set schedule -- for instance, every hour -- it can help you regain control of your bladder muscles. Once you see improvement, try slowly extending the time you head to the toilet.
-try probiotics for the bloating
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
