Urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control, may make laughing or sneezing embarrassing. Approximately 30% of women suffer from some form of urinary leakage and it can happen to women very early on in their lives.

The first step to better pelvic health begins with an evaluation by a qualified physician.
