Some people do not tell their doctor about their incontinence because they are embarrassed. Some people think that incontinence is a normal part of ageing and that nothing can be done about it. They are wrong!
Urinary incontinence can be successfully treated, so it is important to seek help from your doctor as soon as you experience any incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is common, especially in women. It can occur at any age, but is more likely to develop as you get older. Up to 20% of women over the age of 40 and one in five men suffer from some degree of urinary incontinence. So you are not alone.
Urinary incontinence can take away your confidence and affect your well-being and your quality of life. A visit to the doctor is the first step to help you get these back.
There are a number of treatment options and your doctor or continence nurse will be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatment for you and your lifestyle.
