The article shares a personal narrative about the struggles of managing incontinence, particularly during perimenopause. After childbirth, the author faced bladder issues, which resurfaced at age 47, resulting in a search for effective solutions. Despite trying various methods recommended by her gynecologist, including Kegel exercises and devices, none were successful. The author reflects on her experiences, alongside statistics indicating that over 60% of U.S. women face similar challenges, highlighting a common but often hidden struggle among middle-aged women.
