As the winter season approaches, it is important to address the impact urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) can have.  UUI is a common condition characterized by the sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate, often leading to involuntary leakage.  We aim to shed some light on how UUI can affect you during the winter months and provide some helpful insights and frequently asked questions (FAQs) for managing this condition effectively.

During winter, people tend to consume hot beverages more frequently, like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.  These diuretic drinks can exacerbate UUI symptoms by increasing urine production and triggering frequent urges to use the bathroom.

Another issue that comes along with winter months is layering in heavy clothing which can make it challenging to quickly access the restroom.  This can result in increased anxiety and discomfort when trying to manage urgent urges in public settings.

Next, comes those pesky illnesses like the cold or flu.  Coughing, sneezing, and increased pressure on the bladder due to these infections can worsen UUI symptoms and lead to more frequent episodes of leakage.

FAQs about Urgency Urinary Incontinence

Q:  What causes UUI?

A:  UUI can be caused by various factors, including bladder muscle overactivity, neurological conditions, urinary tract infections, certain medications, and hormonal changes.

Q: How can UUI be managed:

A: Managing UUI involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, medications, or in severe cases, surgical interventions.

Q: Are there any dietary recommendations for managing UUI?

A:  Avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and artificial sweeteners may help reduce symptoms.

Q: Can UUI be cured?

A: While a complete cure may not always be possible, there are treatments that can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life if you have UUI.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

1 large carrot, peeled and sliced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Optional: crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese

For the dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring the quinoa and water or vegetable broth to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.

In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, carrot, and red onion with olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking.

In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese on top for added flavor.

Serve the salad warm or chilled. Enjoy!
