Keeping men social
Around 1 in 4 men say bladder leaks have a negative impact on their confidence or mood, according to UK survey data. Among younger men aged 18 to 25, the number who say leaks affect their self-esteem or relationships rises sharply, nearly 9 in 10 report feeling embarrassed or anxious about it.
Men that experience leaks are more likely to be depressed, avoid social situations and feel lonely, often driven by the stigma.
