Light Adult Incontinence09 Mar 2009
Ulrika Jonsson
The taboo of urinary incontinence

Ulrika Jonsson suffers from urinary incontinence as do one in three women in the UK. Research into the debilitating condition known as light adult incontinence (LAI) reveals that most women are so embarrassed by their condition that they choose to suffer in silence instead of seek help. Ulrika and Dr Suzy Elneil, a consultant in urogynaecology, join Jane to discuss the taboo and what can help to cope with the condition.
