Your diet also has effects on bladder function. Certain foods and drinks can irritate the bladder, which can lead to medical problems.
Urinary incontinence is one of the most common problems among men and women alike. The caffeine in coffee is a well-known diuretic, meaning it causes you to produce more urine, which increases the frequency of bladder activity. If you regularly consume tomatoes or tomato-based products, such as ketchup, pizza, or pasta dipped in tomato sauce, it may be best to moderate your intake of these foods.
