Stress and Female Incontinence
Dr. Barbara Montford, President of the Dade County Medical Association, says incontinence can lead to social isolation. "You can have women who are so wet that they really are housebound. They don't want to go out in the community, they feel they smell like urine."
She explains with the stress urinary incontinence, you want people to be active, but they don't want to be active if every time they move around they are wetting their pants. Incontinence can be socially isolating and changing condition for patients.
