I’m relatively young and have a weak bladder. Isn’t this something that only affects old people?
One in four women over the age of 35 have a weak bladder. Pregnancy and childbirth contribute to this figure, as do the many menopausal women who have bladder weakness. However, even young girls sometimes experience leaking after strenuous exercise, and smokers are also susceptible – because they cough more frequently, which can exacerbate the condition. Too much coffee, tea or alcohol doesn’t help either. So, as you can see, age isn’t the only factor.
