Urinary incontinence in women is more common than you may think. With an estimated 25-45% of women experiencing this medical condition, many believe it is “just a part of normal aging” or a post-childbirth reality one has to simply accept.
This frequently means urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor conditions remain untreated, all while interfering with daily life and being known to negatively impact emotional and social well-being.
In this month’s installment of Prisma Health On Call, we’re connecting readers to Prisma Health urogynecologists who are here, on call, ready to answer your urinary incontinence + pelvic floor questions.
