Urinary Incontinence, An Under-Reported Problem

You may be surprised to learn just how many people are dealing with urinary incontinence. Studies indicate approximately 13 million people are affected. It is important to note incontinence does not just affect the elderly (though it is more common). Urinary incontinence can, and does, affect people of all ages, health status, and gender. However, even with the high numbers of those who report the condition or are seeking treatment, experts predict that is nearly the same number of people who have this problems and are not reporting it. In fact, one study shows that most women wait an average of 6 years after their first incontinent episode before seeing help from a professional. Men are not much better.
