Bladder weakness

Droplets in your pants: fighting a taboo subject

Incontinence during sport, sneezing or coughing is not a question of age - but it is a big taboo. Two physiotherapists recently dropped their skirts on TV and showed wet panties. They want to talk openly about bladder problems and have developed a targeted online pelvic floor training program.

A few dribbles in your pants, a frequent urge to urinate or even pain during sex: these are topics that you don't even like to talk about with your girlfriend. It takes a special moment, because "anything to do with the genital area is a big taboo - especially when it comes to bladder weakness," says Magdalena Rechberger.
