All about bladder weakness

Bladder weakness or urinary incontinence is the temporary or enduring inability to control urination. Suffering from urinary incontinence means people can't hold their urine. The condition can cause great embarrassment to the sufferer and can be a challenging task for a carer.

Currently around two million Australians* are affected, though it is a hardly discussed topic, for most people feel embarrassed. Thus we would like to encourage you to face it and learn how to deal with it.
You should know that incontinence does not distinguish between gender, age, position or social background. However, women are more likely to suffer from urinary incontinence than are men. Simply put - it's due to having babies!

In this section we provide you with useful tips and helpful information in all aspects of this 'problem'.
