Improvements for patients
An estimated 1 in 3 UK women suffer from it at some time in their lives, and it's very embarrassing.
Stress urinary incontinence is a condition with a social as well as a physical impact, which means that many women simply won't talk about it, and will certainly delay talking to their GP about it.

Jenni talks to Dr Ash Monga, a consultant in gynaecology and incontinence specialist and 44 year old stress incontinence sufferer Jackie.
