Stress incontinence occurs when urine leaks out of the bladder due to physical activity, coughing, sneezing, or laughing. It is not confined to leaky old ladies but can occur in men and women, and in the young as well as the old.
Control of the urge to urinate generally occurs before the age of seven. Children older than seven that still suffer from incontinence should see their doctor to rule out any condition that may be causing this.
Deterioration in bladder control, such as stress incontinence, usually occurs in women, particularly after childbirth; but may also occur from chronic coughing from as poorly controlled asthma or smoking, heavy lifting, constipation, obesity, and advancing age, as our muscle control becomes less efficient. It may also arise from surgery to the prostate gland in men.
The bladder can hold up to about 500ml of liquid, and this remains in the bladder until the valve, or sphincter, relaxes and allows the passage of urine at unintended times.
The cause of incontinence should always be determined by your doctor. This embarrassing condition affects many, and treatment options generally offer good control of urine flow to normalise activities and improve bladder control.
Women with stress incontinence are generally advised to do pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the bladder. It is advisable for women to undertake these simple exercises at all stages of their life. Other exercise regimes to strengthen this area include Yoga and Pilates.
Talk to your community pharmacist, they can give you advice on exercises to help relieve this condition, discuss some potential causes, aids and treatments for you, and ensure you are referred to your doctor to seek help to relieve this condition.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
