We all know estrogen is one of the most important hormones in the female body.
But did you know that regulating estrogen is the KEY to regaining control of your bladder?
You see, estrogen is responsible for your body's collagen production...
And collagen? Think of it as the "glue" that keeps your tissues strong, elastic, and well-connected.
The same way collagen keeps your skin firm and youthful on the outside...
It keeps your pelvic tissues strong and supported on the inside
But when estrogen levels drop (due to aging, perimenopause, or after pregnancy) your collagen levels plummet
And that’s when things start to go wrong...
- Your pelvic tissue weakens and thins
- Your bladder loses its supporting structure
- Your urethra can't close properly
- It feels impossible to properly hold your urine, especially when pressure increases (from sneezing, laughing, or exercising)
Worst of all, this imbalance can get worse over time making it even harder to control
But here’s the good news…
//OR Version 2?//
The second trigger involves your pelvic floor which acts like a "dam" to control urine flow and release
As estrogen levels naturally decline (during perimenopause or after pregnancy) these tissues become thin and weak
Making it nearly impossible to properly control your bladder
That's becuase estrogen is the “glue” that keeps your body's tissue strong and connected
So every big sneeze or sudden movement puts pressure your weakened pelvic tissue can't hold back
Causing an unwanted leak that you pray doesn't show on your clothes
Worst of all, this imbalance can spiral over time making it even harder to control
But here’s the good news…
