The Problem of Incontinence
Twenty-five million people suffer from incontinence. All age groups are affected. One-quarter of those suffering from stress incontinence are under the age of 40. Teenage females are increasingly reporting incontinent episodes during athletic activities. Twenty-five percent of men older than 50 with benign prostatic hypertrophy are as likely as their female counterparts to experience “wet” overactive bladder. More than 60 percent of men are incontinent for up to one year following prostatectomy. Yet only 1.1 million office visits were associated with incontinence.
