Millions of American women have urinary incontinence, or UI. Worry about leaking urine can weaken confidence and interfere with a person’s daily activities. UI becomes more common with age, but it’s not an inevitable part of aging. Some women have surgery to treat their UI. However, several nonsurgical options are available and work well. If you have UI, talk to your doctor about what options might be right for you.

Health Conditions Health Conditions These are the broad terms we use to categorize our funded research studies; specific diseases or conditions are included within the appropriate larger category. Note: not all of our funded projects focus on a single disease or condition; some touch on multiple diseases or conditions, research methods, or broader health system interventions. Such projects won’t be listed by a primary disease/condition and so won’t appear if you use this filter tool to find them. View Glossary
