Life Without Leaks

Did you know that one out of two people with incontinence will isolate themselves at home because they don't have enough absorbent products? That startling and unfortunate situation - that too many adults simply can't afford the basic necessities to care for themselves - is called The Diaper Divide.

This is something we can all do something about. 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 with us details about the Diaper Divide and insight on what we can do individually and collectively to make a difference for millions.

Today we're joined by Carolyn Hampton, a patient who had such severe overactive bladder that she was going to the bathroom urgently every hour of the day and night. Medication only did so much for her, but she found real, lasting relief through the InterStim system, a tiny implanted device that helped improve the communication between her brain and her bladder. Listen to learn more about what she was going through and the journey she took to drier days.

A lot of men who are facing the prospect of prostate removal due to cancer have no idea that incontinence is an almost inevitable result of the procedure. For most men, leaking resolves itself in a few months to a year, but for some men, it can persist. Sexual dysfunction is another common side effect that many men need to navigate post-surgery.

Today we're talking with Dr. Peter Hill, a chiropractor in Weston, Massachusetts, who's experienced this firsthand. He shares his story of recovery from prostate cancer surgery and how he learned to manage the leaking, sexual issues and emotional challenges that he faced. It's a remarkably open, honest and enlightening discuss that all men should listen to.
