    What is the percentage of older people who have to resort to Depends, or other bladder control protection? Is bladder control an issue we can all expect to face when we get older? And when does it start?

    The most common problem is urinary stress incontenance - leaking a bit when exercising, coughing, laughing. But there is surgery for that. I've had it. It's called TVT - trans vaginal taping. I had it 5 yrs ago & may need a tune-up, but it's not very invasive, though there is a short recovery period. There are pills for this condition too, but I'd rather do the surgery and be done with it for a long time. Just Curious
