The last taboo: Adult incontinence

Adult incontinence is one of the last taboo subjects, but is very prevalent, expecially in women, reports Clodagh Finn.

IF BLADDER sensitivity affects one in three women over 18 then why is nobody talking about it? Is this the last taboo? It certainly seems to be.

A study released this week shows that one in two women over 18 will suffer some degree of adult incontinence at some stage in their lives, yet most of them will suffer in silence.
