Talking about urinary incontinence
One of every three older women is dealing with urinary incontinence. And one of every six older men. If your loved one has this problem, he or she is likely not talking about it. Not talking to you. Not talking to the doctor.
She may be embarrassed. Or he may assume nothing can be done.
In fact, urinary incontinence is a medical problem with many treatment options. Untreated, urinary incontinence is associated with
- social isolation. Fear of accidents often leads to withdrawal from activities outside the home.
