Urinary Incontinence, a medical, psychological, social,
economic, and hygienic problem, is defined as a condition of loss of the
bladder to control that can lead to mild or severe form of involuntary leakage of urine. Involuntary urine leakage or urinary incontinence is frequent among elderly women, adult women, even among adolescent women.
B. In herbal medicine perspective
1. St John's wort
In the study to evaluate the effect of St. John's wort
(SJW), an effective and safe herbal antidepressant, on rat bladder
contractility, showed that SJW inhibits excitatory transmission of the
rat urinary bladder and also directly
inhibits smooth muscle contractility. The inhibitory effect on
excitatory transmission could involve, at least in part, opioid
receptors. SJW may be evaluated for its possible use in treating urinary incontinence in depressed patients(44).
2. Saw palmetto
Saw palmetto is claimed to help treat the
symptoms of enlarged prostate, or BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy).
These symptoms include increased nighttime urination and/or decreased
urinary flow. There also have been reports of patients using saw
palmetto for stomach or intestinal problems, bladder irritation, and
bronchitis(45).
3. Green tea
Green tea drinking is inversely associated with urinary incontinence. In the study to investigate the association between green tea consumption and urinary incontinence among middle-aged and older women, showed that suggested an inverse association between urinary incontinence and habitual green tea consumption in middle-aged and older women(46).
