JOIN US FOR BLADDER HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Together, we can bring hope and help to millions

Every November, NAFC joins with healthcare providers and organizations around the
country to raise awareness of bladder health. It’s an incredibly important initiative because talking about bladder and bowel symptoms is still so taboo. By showing the world that there’s nothing to be ashamed of, we can help people just like you recognize that they’re not alone and get them started on their own journey towards drier days.

You know how hard it can be – how much misinformation is out there, and how embarrassment can keep you from getting the care you deserve. So how do we get past these challenges? By talking. By sharing. By showing that we’re not afraid to speak the truth about a condition that affects as many as 1 in 4 Americans. The more people see and hear about incontinence, the less taboo it becomes and the more comfortable they’ll be when it comes to finding solutions for themselves.

That’s why, for Bladder Health Awareness Month, we’ve created more than 40 friendly,
sharable graphics with simple tips to live a life without leaks. You’ll see them in our social media pages and on our website, and we encourage you to help us spread the word by reposting them to your platforms, too.

Beyond that, we encourage you to use this opportunity to take action for your own benefit. If you’re new to NAFC, you may not have gotten very far on your own treatment path, but there’s never a better time than now to make progress. Speak to your doctor about your symptoms, and if you’re feeling uncomfortable about it, click here for our guide on how to have a confident, comfortable conversation. Don’t have a doctor?

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

When you live with a condition that nobody ever wants to talk about, it can feel like you’re the only one in the world dealing with your problems. The truth is, there are millions of others out there going through the exact same issues, and if they could only hear how just big the incontinence community actually is, they wouldn’t feel so all alone.

That’s why we’re not just sharing tips and resources over the next month, we’ll also be sharing the stories of people just like you along with proven, practical insights from experts in bladder care. We hope that this November you’ll find comfort knowing that you’re one of many, and with the knowledge that you’re in good company, reach out to find the solutions and support you deserve.

LIFE IS JUST BETTER WITHOUT LEAKS

Too many people think that incontinence is inevitable. That it’s something that ‘just happens’ as you get older and there’s nothing that can be done about it. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

The fact is, nobody should have to live with leaks, especially considering all the proven, effective treatments that are available today – including some that you can start on your own, right now, at home. Want to learn more?
