Comments on: Obstetric Fistula - the Tragedy of a Nightmare Within a Nightmare http://www.ideasforwomen.com/news/womens-health/2008/05/20/198/ News and Issues About Women Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:38:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: FYI http://www.ideasforwomen.com/news/womens-health/2008/05/20/198/#comment-23386 FYI Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:58:17 +0000 http://www.ideasforwomen.com/news/?p=198#comment-23386 I first found out about this condition while watching Oprah who was showing portions of the Walk to Beautiful film. After that show I started researching Urinary Incontinence. It's surprising how many people find themselves incontinent at some point in their lives. Whether it is a temporary issue during an illness, or the effects of giving birth, it is said that 1 in 4 women encounter this problem at some point in their lives. Hopefully the stigma of incontinence can be erased and more women can seek help or not feel uncomfortable about doing those activities that they love. I was moved so much by the stigma assoctiated with Urinary Incontience that I started a blog about getting more awareness out there. I myself have it, as well as more than half of the other women on my soccer team. I'm hoping to have it help others as well. http://www.fyiforwomen.com/blog/ I first found out about this condition while watching Oprah who was showing portions of the Walk to Beautiful film.
