Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, often dismissed as a normal consequence of childbirth or aging. However, medical experts emphasize that it is a treatable condition, not a myth, and should not be ignored. Delaying treatment due to embarrassment or stigma can lead to significant impacts on quality of life, including social restrictions, emotional distress, and physical issues like infections. Anatomical and hormonal factors, particularly pregnancy and childbirth, contribute to women experiencing incontinence more frequently than men.
