Despite the higher rates of incontinence among people with CF - due to coughing, which puts strain on one's pelvic floor muscles - stigma and embarrassment keep many people from seeking treatment. In this podcast, Georgia Brown, MLA, an adult living with CF, shares her personal journey with incontinence, opening up about her initial challenges in speaking with providers, how she eventually found effective treatment, and the significant improvement in her quality of life after seeking medical support. Georgia is joined by Dr. Abigail Shatkin-Margolis, Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology in the Division of Urogynecology & Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Shatkin-Margolis discusses what incontinence is, its various forms, its specific impact on people with CF, and the range of treatment options available.
