Urinary incontinence affects about 38%
of all women, yet only a third have received treatment.

Incontinence is rarely life threatening. In most cases, if treated promptly, physical complications are not serious. However it can have severe emotional effects.
Depression is very common in women with incontinence. For example, in one 2003 study, 82% of women with severe incontinence and 41% of those with moderate incontinence reported at least 2 weeks of depression during the preceding year.

Incontinence also has emotional effects on men. A number of studies of prostate cancer patients suggest that incontinence is a much more distressing side effect for men than impotence (also a side effect of prostate cancer treatment).
