Breaking taboos can transform lives, end paradigms, and present a new alternative that may improve life quality and talk about what matters, even if it is embarrassing. For example, to know that if urinary incontinence were a country, it would be the third most populated country in the world. It is time to break the taboo on this symptom with the help of IncoTalks.
Nobody would think so since we believe that incontinence is a problem for older adults. However, 41% of incontinence cases occur in young people between 30 and 60 years old. This symptom can cause depression and decreased self-esteem.
Urinary incontinence is a common symptom. According to the 2022 Essity Global Hygiene and Health Survey, more than 425 million people globally are incontinent. Despite this, this symptom remains a little discussed and poorly understood topic. With this in mind, within the framework of Urinary Incontinence Week, Tena, a brand of Essity, a leading Swedish company in hygiene and health, launches “Incotalks 2024”, an educational and dialogue space on urinary incontinence, thus reaffirming its commitment to breaking the taboos around urinary incontinence.
Talking openly about incontinence is crucial to reducing stigma and providing necessary support to those who suffer from it. Incotalks by Tena is a space designed to foster understanding, offer solutions, and empower people through information.
Education and Early Detection: Keys to Effective Management
One of the main objectives of this initiative is to educate the population about what incontinence is, how to identify it, and what solutions are available. People can access this free content on Incotalks.
Lack of knowledge and misinformation are significant barriers that prevent many people from seeking help and adequately managing their symptoms. The success of Incotalks 2024 underscores the importance of continuing to create and support spaces that encourage open conversation about sensitive health topics.
