Show Notes

While the topic of incontinence may feel taboo, new research has found it is a widespread women’s health issue in Ireland, with 64% of Irish women having experienced incontinence at some point in their lives. So, why do so few seek help?

Joining Ciara to discuss this is Dr. Breffini Anglim O’Regan, Consultant Obstetrician, Gynecologist and Urogynecology Subspecialist at The Coombe Hospital, and President of the Continence Foundation of Ireland and Lisa Watson, who is awaiting a surgery that is currently on pause in Ireland for incontinence.
