To start off Bladder Health month, I thought a discussion about urinary incontinence, a bladder concern of many women, especially those who have undergone pregnancy, would be appropriate. Pregnancy and childbirth are known risk factors for urinary incontinence (unintentional and involuntary loss of urine). But despite the fact that more than one-third of women experience urinary incontinence in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and about one-third leak urine in the first three months after giving birth, the topic is widely avoided.
