Managing urinary incontinence is challenging enough, but bladder leaks, sudden urgency and frequent trips to the restroom can be especially stressful when you’re trying to get through a busy workday.

In this episode, we share practical strategies for managing bladder symptoms on the job, whether you’re commuting to an office, sitting through a long meeting, working from home or navigating a packed schedule. We’ll talk about bladder training and bathroom planning, hydration and potential bladder triggers, keeping a bladder diary, preparing for unexpected leaks, choosing incontinence products, staying active and more.

We’ll also discuss when it may be worth talking with your employer about workplace accommodations, and why managing your symptoms shouldn’t take the place of talking with a healthcare provider about what’s causing them.

Urinary incontinence is common, and it’s treatable. With the right strategies and support, you can spend less of your workday worrying about your bladder and more of it focused on everything else.
