Abstract:
Urinary incontinence (UI) is de ned as the complaint of involuntary loss of urine. UI a ects both men and women but is more common in women. It has been identi ed as a World Health Organization priority. The burden related to UI at local, national, and global levels is huge and its impact in terms of physical, social, mental, and nancial aspects makes it a concerning issue. However, there exist several barriers in terms of knowledge and attitude in seeking healthcare among women experiencing UI. This calls upon a multi-disciplinary approach involving professionals from di erent disciplines and tackling it with collaborative and collective efforts.
