Its critical that women suffering from female urinary incontinence come to grips with this challenge, become educated and work with thier doctors and nurses to treat it straight away. The costs personally and societally of living in denial (or worse becoming trapped by the condition) are worth considering.
As we peer more and more into the areas of research and attention around female incontinence, we begin to understand more about the statistics.
The statistics can be taken in several different ways, one must understand that they reveal observations about what can happen when the problem is not addressed in the fashion that it needs to be in order for those suffering from it to cope with it effectively. Further pressing is to help those women in the 18-44 age range suffering from female urinary incontinence to get treatment right away -- sooner in some cases some might argue -- than women in older age groups.
In this past April's issue of Psychosomatics (2006:47 pages 147-151), a two doctors in a Canadian community health study observed the prevalence of depression in women with urinary incontinence to be 15.5% (30% in women ages 18–44) compared to only 9.2% in women without urinary incontinence.
Accoding to the Authors, Vigod and Stewart from the University of Toronto, the combined impact of urinary incontinence and major depression exceeds the impact of either condition alone
