The reasons behind this neglect are complex, involving lengthy lists of prioritized screenings, limited appointment times, and restricted access to healthcare services. As a result, many women suffer in silence, unaware of the available treatments and support. Regular incontinence screenings can significantly improve women's health and quality of life, making it essential to address these systemic barriers and raise awareness about the importance of urinary incontinence treatment and preventive care for women's wellness.
