Many women notice it quietly: leaking when laughing, urgency that comes out of nowhere, waking at night just to pee. It often starts after 40. And many women carry it alone. But the data is clear. Over 50% of women over 45 experience some degree of urinary incontinence, according to the American Urological Association. This isn’t rare. It’s common — and treatable. Hormonal decline weakens pelvic floor muscles and thins urethral tissue. Years of childbirth, caregiving strain, and core neglect compound the issue. Yet shame keeps women silent, making a medical issue feel like a personal failure. What helps isn’t “holding it better.” It’s pelvic floor therapy, targeted strength training, estrogen creams when appropriate, bladder retraining, and reducing bladder irritants like caffeine. Women who receive pelvic floor therapy report up to 70% symptom improvement within months. You didn’t fail your body. Your body has been carrying more than anyone ever acknowledged. #Health #WomensHealth #PelvicHealth
