More than 14 million adults in the UK struggle with bladder control – a huge number which should reassure anyone who worries about leaking when sneezing, having sex, exercising, or laughing (amongst many other triggers), that they’re absolutely not alone. However, bladder leakage is never ideal, so learning that there are things you can do about it, and that it doesn’t have to affect your daily life, is key to feeling more confident. This episode welcomes TV personality and presenter Ferne McCann, as well as women’s physiotherapist Clare Bourne, to chat all things incontinence, including why it happens, tips to help stop it happening – and the awfulness of the word ‘incontinence’.
