While urinary incontinence is becoming a more prevalent condition than more well-known ailments like Alzheimer’s or diabetes, people suffering from this condition are less likely to seek treatment. In fact, experts estimate that between 50% and 75% of the cases of women’s urinary incontinence are never reported. Why?
Either because it’s too embarrassing or because women just think urinary incontinence is a normal part of aging.
