No one talks about it, but many women live in fear of not finding a bathroom in time. Urinary urgency and pelvic floor changes spike between 40–55, affecting 1 in 3 women. It’s not poor hygiene, not bad habits, not “just aging.” It’s the combined effect of estrogen loss, pelvic floor weakening, and sometimes childbirth injuries resurfacing decades later. The emotional toll is real: women plan drives around bathrooms, avoid long meetings, and quietly carry shame for something incredibly common. What helps: – Pelvic floor physical therapy (not Kegels alone) – Magnesium reduces bladder spasms – Reducing bladder irritants (coffee, citrus, carbonated drinks) – Estrogen vaginal therapy can strengthen tissue and reduce urgency You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. This symptom is treatable—and incredibly common. Tags: #WomensHealth #PelvicHealth #Midlife
