Allergan added that Bladder health issues are estimated to affect approximately 45% of the world's population ages 20 or older, yet according to the survey, there are women that have yet to learn about their bladders. Allergan also informed that as per the findings of the survey, almost two-thirds of American women ages 45 or older have never had a discussion about their bladder health with a physician. Missy Lavender, Founder and Executive Direct of Women's Health Foundation, said, "The results of the survey are of significant concern to me because while many bladder conditions, like overactive bladder, are common, they are by no means normal.
