Postpartum Incontinence

When most people think about changing diapers in the months after giving birth, they're probably thinking about their newborn. But a surprising number of women find themselves thinking about adult diapers, too. That's because most women experience incontinence to one degree or another following delivery. A new survey by Aeroflow Urology found that nearly 90% of new mothers experience incontinence - some of them, significantly. 

Today's guest is Aleece Fosnight, a board-certified physician assistant specializing in incontinence conditions and a medical advisor for Aeroflow Urology, and she shares insights from the survey along with valuable advice for those who are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant.

If you look at the numbers behind incontinence in women, it’s hard to believe just how big an issue it is. Incontinence affects more women than diabetes, breast cancer and heart disease, but it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. That’s why NAFC has created the We Count campaign, to help you realize that you are not alone, and there are treatments available right now that can make a real difference in your life.
