Some symptoms are merely a nuisance, while others may prove serious. Here’s what to watch.
Maybe you leak urine every time you cough or sneeze or lift a bag of groceries. Maybe you plan your errands around trips to the toilet. Maybe you tuck extra pads into your purse when you go out. Or maybe you blaze a path to the bathroom as soon as you unlock your front door.
Perhaps you think this is all normal. Or maybe you know your bladder is a problem but feel too embarrassed to talk about it.
