Incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine or stool, a common but often under‑discussed issue that affects women across all stages of life.
It can stem from pelvic floor weakness, hormonal changes, childbirth, menopause, chronic stress, metabolic conditions, or neurological factors. Symptoms may include urgency, leakage with coughing or exercise, difficulty fully emptying the bladder, or unexpected bowel leakage.
This tag brings together evidence-based insights on the different types of incontinence, how pelvic floor function, hormones, and lifestyle influence bladder and bowel control, and what women can do to restore strength and confidence. From pelvic floor therapy and behavioral strategies to understanding how aging, childbirth, and metabolic health contribute to symptoms, this section helps women navigate a sensitive topic with clarity and compassion.
