It can be difficult to talk about problems such as incontinence or vaginal bulges, even with a doctor. But doctors are used to talking about these problems, and it's important for you to encourage your wife, mother, sister or other loved one to openly speak with their primary care physician (PCP) about their issues “down there” so the doctor can identify the appropriate next steps.

To get the dialogue flowing, answer the questions in the "Talking with your Doctor" tool with your loved one and share it with her physician.
