If you experience bladder control problems, don't let embarrassment keep you from getting the help you need. Leaking urine, having to urinate frequently and experiencing other symptoms of urinary incontinence aren't trivial consequences of childbirth or a natural part of aging.

Not all doctors routinely ask about urinary function during an exam. It's up to you to take the first step. Tell your doctor about any bladder control problems and ask for help.
