Embarrassing moments

"There are many sad stories associated with incontinence," says Dr. Bergio. I listened to everything in connection with the work on the incontinence cure program. It can be said without exaggeration that incontinence often has catastrophic consequences. Medical journals report that it exacerbates depression, social isolation, anxiety and leads to low self-esteem. One woman, for example, told me that she did not go to her granddaughter's wedding, because she feared that an incident might happen that would be unpleasant to everyone. Another admitted that she had stopped intercourse because of this. "
Dr. Bergio recalls a woman who, working as a real estate agent, had to drive around all day by car, at home. "Her work and her life were continuously connected with the thoughts of where to find the toilet and how long she could stand before she needed to visit him. It happened that the trouble occurred in the presence of the client. It was terrible. In the end she had to quit her job. "
Although the concealment of the problem is largely due to embarrassment, Dr. Bergio believes that there is another reason many women think that incontinence is not treated. In fact, incontinence is treatable, and now more so than ever before.
