Any guys reading this blog, if you are easily embarrassed by women’s health issues such as bladder leakage, you should probably skip this blog and go on to the others further down the page…
It has come to my attention from a number of different places lately, how many women don’t know the easy way to fix the bladder leakage problems that can come so easily from pregnancies or age and oh my goodness this one can get in the way of a good ride on our horse!
And Oh my goodness again, those napkin manufacturers are having a mega million dollar windfall!
Now I’ve got nothing against a body earning an honest buck – but couldn’t they spend 15 seconds of those expensive advertisements on telling you how to FIX it? We would all buy their brand then!
Anyway – the fixing is easy – as you are having a wee, interrupt the stream and try and stop the flow. There! Did that take even 15 seconds to read?
At first you won’t be able to stop the flow, or it might take you quite a bit of effort, but you are just flexing a muscle that got a bit bent out of shape and the more effort you put into using the muscle, the stronger it will get.
If your problem is minor, you will notice the difference with a few days – if it’s major it might take you longer – but you WILL fix it and those embarrassing and sometimes worrying moments will be over.
In my healing practice, I know how much kidney and bladder problems are associated with fears – so The 9 Keys to Happiness with Your Horse will help you understand fear better and take the pressure off your kidneys and bladder. Fair dinkum – that’s the way your body works!
Now I know some of you thought I was just about horse things – but on my blog articles about bladder leakage mix with training issues, mixes with articles about Cushings disease, mixes with articles about how to know and how to make decidsions about putting your beloved companion down and anything else that comes to my attention at the time. You can get notified of each new article that gets put up by putting your email address in that box to the right here. I NEVER pass my email list to anyone else.
There’s a very easy fix for vast numbers of prostate problems too – I’ll write THAT article when I can find some free time – yeah right! Gentle sarcasm there – I’ll have to MAKE the time, we can’t let the blokes miss out!

Thanks for reminding me-I’m not with a man currently so forget about that part of my body. I’m doing kegels as I type. thanks so much and thanks for the sensitivity- feeling first 6 lessons -it made me remember to feel and to sense-to be in my right brain with my 3 horses-Parick, Siobhan and Justine -much joy and love to you and your life here with your horses Debra from southern OregonUSA
I am glad that you have been enjoying The Six Keys to Happiness with Your Horse Debra. I didn’t even know that those exercises were caused kegels. I just know that they work!
Thanks for that Jenny I had heard of these exercises before but had long forgotten them, so will re commence doing them..as you say it only takes a few seconds.
it warms my heart to see your posts. You are a generous sharing, lovely person. Thank you.
Hi Jenny, You are describing the kegel exercises, which help to strengthen the sphincter (say that fast ten times without spitting!) muscles that control the flow, and they can be helpful for some people. I certainly tried them – but you have to do it regularly and keep it up! It didn’t really fix my problem and I finally opted for “sling” surgery, which works a treat, but I am all for encouraging the kegel exercise as a first resort! Bonnie
Yes I understand that occasionally things can be too far gone Bonnie – but it is unusual. The fear thing is a big deal though for this organ, the bladder too. The less fear, the healthier it is too!
Many thanks Jenny, for all your info. I’m a little embarassed about not being able to take your paid lessons but at the present time it is just not meant to be. Always look forward to receiving your emails and hope one day to get to Victoria and have a session with you.
Thanks again
Claire
No need to be embarrassed – not in the slightest. It sounds like it will happen when the timing is perfect in your life – and that is as it should be! In the meantime keep enjoying the blog and the freebies – I am glad that you are enjoying them – that’s what I give them for!
