Does urinary incontinence affect a lot of women?
The most important thing to know is that, while millions of women experience involuntary loss of urine or urinary incontinence, it is not normal and there’s no reason anyone should suffer needlessly from it. While some women may lose a few drops of urine while running or coughing, others may feel a strong, sudden urge to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine. Symptoms can range from mildly bothersome to totally debilitating. For some women, the risk of public embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities with their family and friends. Urine loss can also occur during sexual activity and cause tremendous emotional distress.
