Urinary leaks in women lets dare to talk about it

In France, more than 3 million people*, mostly women, are affected by urinary leakage. But how many talk about it? Although frequent and natural, the subject is often considered taboo. And if we finally free the floor?

Confide without taboo

Women are more affected than men and menopause is a favorable period, but beware of prejudices. Bladder problems aren’t just for old ladies. Women under 40 can also experience it. No wonder when you know that pregnancy and natural childbirth frequently cause small leaks, most often temporary. Whatever their age, the women concerned are often embarrassed to talk about it to those around them and even to their doctor. Some have the impression of losing their femininity and their youth, others close in on themselves and isolate themselves. Unwittingly, their silence maintains a taboo. It is time for things to change. By sharing their experience, women can gather support and advice, it is also and above all the way to no longer feel alone, because it’s a safe bet that among their loved ones, other people are also concerned.
