Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the accidental loss of urine — anything from occasional dribbles to full bladder leakage. It’s common among both older women and men and can result from weak pelvic muscles, an enlarged prostate, or certain medications.

Incontinence isn’t just a “normal” part of aging — it can affect confidence, social life, and sleep. The good news? Many types can be treated or significantly improved through pelvic floor exercises, medication, or other therapies.

Did you know? More than 50% of women over 65 experience incontinence, but most never talk about it with their doctor — even though many cases are treatable.

Chronic health conditions affect many seniors, but understanding them is the first step toward better health. Explore the details of these conditions to stay informed and take proactive steps in managing your well-being.
