In France, at least 3 million people are affected by urinary leakage¹. Although frequent, this natural phenomenon is still often considered taboo. However, there is no reason to be ashamed of it, especially since there are solutions to live with it in complete serenity.
Stop the taboo
Urinary leakage is manifested by uncontrolled loss of urine. Men, women, young or old, they can affect everyone. However, studies show that women and the elderly are more at risk. Thus, 25% of women aged 60 to 69 suffer from urinary incontinence. 2. There are several forms depending on the mechanism of occurrence:
- Stress incontinence is characterized by an involuntary leak, not preceded by a need to urinate, occurring during an effort (coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, etc.).
- Urinary incontinence by overactive bladder occurs following an urgent and uncontrollable need to urinate, but outside of any effort, during sleep for example.
- Mixed incontinence combines these two types of symptoms, it is the most common form.
Several causes can be at the origin of urinary incontinence, but the main ones are pregnancy, menopause, age and taking medication. In addition, certain factors can increase the risk, among them are obesity, lack of physical activity or on the contrary excessive sport, but also tobacco and diet.
On a daily basis, these leaks considerably affect the quality of life of the women concerned. Added to the discomfort of the situation is the gaze of others, which can be very heavy. As a result, some women prefer to give up activities likely to put them in embarrassment, others go so far as to isolate themselves in order to escape embarrassing situations. To avoid this, it is important to free speech on the subject and to remember that solutions exist to live with without complexes.
