Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common disease, with prevalence rates as high as 44-57% in middle aged and post menopausal women.[1] Those suffering from UI may experience physical, functional, and psychological limitations and diminished quality of life at home and at work. [2] The financial burden of UI care is significant with an estimated direct cost of $19.5 billion in the United States alone. [3].
