Urinary incontinence, meaning low bladder control or accidental urine leaks, is a bigger, and much widespread, issue than people acknowledge it to be; many people suffer in silence rather than seeking medical help due to shame and the kind of taboo that society has created around the issue. Most people don’t even understand the severity of the problem and how anyone at any time can suffer from it.
Who Can Suffer From Urinary Incontinence?
It can happen to anyone at any age, however, people most vulnerable include –
-
Older People (Urinary Incontinence As A Result Of Ageing)
Urinary incontinence, or low bladder control, majorly affects middle and older age people due to weak bladder or pelvic floor muscles that don’t work properly and allow the urine to pass without warning leading to embarrassing situations and making people lose self-confidence. Women are majorly affected by urinary incontinence in their middle years; statistics indicate that about 40% women in the age group of 30 – 35 years suffer from this issue.
-
Women After Pregnancy (Urinary Incontinence As A Result Of Vaginal Childbirth)
Women who have had a vaginal delivery are at a greater risk of urinary incontinence due to weakened vaginal muscles or due to interventions that caused injury to the pelvic nerves and muscles. Medical statistics suggest that even a seemingly uneventful pregnancy can change bladder control for about 50% of women. Most cases of urinary incontinence after pregnancy resolve in a year, however, about 20% of women face the issue years later as well.
