Many women experience incontinence, a topic often shrouded in silence and shame. Sadly, it's a condition frequently dismissed as normal, despite its significant impact on quality of life. The reluctance to address it head-on leads to decreased social engagement and physical activity among affected women.
Consider the scenario of giving up beloved activities like tennis or running due to leakage. Such sacrifices undermine the pursuit of graceful aging, which hinges on staying active and connected. Ignoring incontinence can cascade into various health complications, including increased hospitalizations, falls, and fractures over time.
Addressing incontinence early on offers the best chance for effective treatment, preventing these adverse outcomes and preserving overall well-being.
