Overview

Urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control, may make laughing or sneezing embarrassing. Approximately 30 percent of women suffer from some form of urinary leakage and it can happen to women very early on in their lives. While come common factors affect pelvic health, including age, childbirth and previous abdominal surgeries, these are not simply a part of aging and are not normal in women at any age. The first step to better pelvic health begins with an evaluation by a qualified physician.
