20%-30% prevalence of urinary incontinence in women above 60

Due to feelings of embarrassment or societal stigma, they often believe it’s a part of ageing.

Urinary incontinence, a common yet often overlooked issue among women over 60, can significantly impact quality of life. This condition manifests in various forms, but primarily falls into two categories: urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Urge incontinence is characterized by a sudden and overwhelming urge to urinate, often leading to involuntary leakage. Stress incontinence occurs when physical exertion, such as coughing, sneezing, or laughing, puts pressure on the bladder, causing involuntary leakage.
