Many women experience urinary incontinence throughout their life, and it is much more common in women. Men can have urinary incontinence, but it's usually related to prostate surgery or cancers, disease along with diabetes, neurologic disease. Women will more frequently experience incontinence, I won't say as a normal part of getting older, but as a result of those life events as they get older. So, child birth causing damage to the pelvic support and the nerves in the pelvis, loss of that muscular support and atrophy and then menopause bringing on the loss of estrogen in the effects that they cause will leave many women to that problem and, like I said, it would be effected to a much greater rate than men where it's usually more of a pathologic process.
