What is urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence means you leak urine by accident. This is common after menopause and can affect your daily life—but you don’t have to live with it. There are many ways to manage and treat it. Inline content unavailable

Why does menopause increase the risk of incontinence?

During menopause, your hormone levels—especially estrogen—drop. This can lead to:

  • Weaker pelvic floor muscles

  • Thinner vaginal and bladder tissues

  • A less elastic bladder

  • Vaginal dryness

These changes can make it harder to control your bladder. Inline content unavailable
