Urinary incontinence, including both stress incontinence and urge incontinence are prevalent in peri and postmenopausal women. Research indicates 30-60% of women experience some form of UI.
There are several factors associated with postmenopausal urinary incontinence (UI):
- Hormonal Changes
- Pelvic Floor Weakness
- Weight Gain
- Bladder Changes
The occurrence of UI is inversely related to systemic hormone therapy, regardless of type (oral/transdermal estrogen/progesterone), which is widely used for the alleviation of menopausal symptoms and the restoration of hormonal balance
