•
When you laugh, sneeze, cough or exercise, do you sometimes leak a
small amount of urine?
•
Are you ever “caught short” by a sudden, strong urge to
pass urine?
•
Do you arrange your daily routine around where the nearest toilets
will be?
•
Do you wake twice or more during the night to go to the toilet?
•
Do you experience bowel problems such as soiling, urgency, poor wind
control or difficulty emptying?
•
Have you given up enjoyable activities – like walking, aerobics
or dancing – because of fear of bladder leakage or loss of bowel
control?
If
you answered yes to any of these questions, you have a treatable
problem that will not improve without management and may worsen.
Over 2 million Australians, 1
in 4 women and 1 in 10 men
experience incontinence, a very distressing
condition that has a major negative
impact on quality of life.
