One out of four women suffers from the frustrating and embarrassing condition of incontinence. Unfortunately, only 50 percent of these women seek any type of help or treatment. Many women mistakenly believe that loss of bladder control is a normal sign of aging, or a normal result of pregnancy.

If you experience urinary incontinence, urine may leak suddenly when you laugh, sneeze or cough. Or you may experience sudden, overwhelming urges to urinate. Other cases are characterized by a trickle throughout the day. You may even find yourself avoiding social situations for fear of leakage. In any case, incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders can drastically affect your quality of life.

Don't let your bladder control you - you may be only one step away from an easily treatable condition. Consult with your doctor about treatment options. ProHealth Care offers a Center for Bladder and Pelvic Floor Health that offers incontinence treatments. For more information contact Nurse-On-Line at 1-800-544-2745.
