Bladder leakage is a physical condition that affects an estimated 14 million Americans every day. 💧
.
It happens to both men and women of any age, and is a result of a variety of physical conditions.
.
Struggling with urinary incontinence can leave you feeling embarrassed and alone.
.
Your body seems to be no longer in control. You cannot depend on it functioning in the way it once did; you cannot depend on it functioning in the way it should. But for some, talking about your symptoms with others just seems to personal, even with a health care provider.
.
However, there is no need to feel this way. There is help out there, and you are not alone! With treatment, you can get your urges back under your control. 👩⚕️
.
“Accidents” do happen, but that does not mean they need to be a part of your everyday life. 🧘
