Dating and relationships

Dating can be exciting, awkward and even a little intimidating. It can be even more daunting if you experience incontinence though.

If you feel comfortable, it can be good to talk to the person you’re dating about incontinence, especially if things are starting to get serious. As with any medical condition, your expectation should be that the important people in your life (including your partner) are understanding, supportive, and positive. This is not always the way it goes, but it helps to be open and honest about any issues.
