Women of all ages and social and cultural backgrounds can be affected by prolapse, urinary incontinence and faecal incontinence. For most, a cure can be found with the right investigation and subsequent treatment. For some, however, a cause can take time to be established, some may not want medical or surgical treatment, and for others a cure is not always possible. For these groups of women, devices may be a suitable option.
