Is urinary incontinence a natural consequence of aging?
Studies reveal that 30 percent of all women report episodes of urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary loss of urine from the bladder. However, only one half of these women report this condition to their physicians because it is either socially embarrassing or they believe that no treatment option is available. Urinary incontinence is not a natural consequence of aging. Pelvic exercise (for example, Kegels and biofeedback), medication, and outpatient minimally invasive surgical procedures offer excellent cure rates. If you have urinary incontinence, take charge of your health care and discuss it with your physician. Effective treatment options are now available for you.
