What is this article about?
More than 5 million Australians (one in four) experience bladder or bowel control problems. Not only can incontinence cause embarrassment, shame and even depression - in 2010 the cost of incontinence to Australia’s economy was approximately $46.9 billion, or $9,014 per patient. Incontinence can affect anyone, but 80% of those living with incontinence are women. Despite this, men are less likely to seek help for their incontinence. Two-thirds of men refrain from discussing the issue with their general practitioner, and one-third delay anti-incontinence surgery for over five years.
