Incontinence

If you sometimes can’t help wetting or soiling yourself, you can get help. Incontinence is a very common problem. It can affect anyone, sometimes during and after pregnancy.

In many cases it is curable, so if you’ve got a problem talk to your doctor, midwife or health visitor, or ring the confidential Bladder and Bowel Foundation helpline on 0845 345 0165, Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 1pm (See External Links).
