Barely Mid 40s Mom has been dealing with urinary constinence

vent ish

Hi i am not sure what to do and i am really worried about my mom. I have tried searching up this issue and apparently its common with *older* women (like 50 to 70 at least, but my mom has already started with this. It has happened mors than 5 times already within the last 12 month and it has been really concerning me.

I don't know how to support her and all I try to do is just be there for her when she does go through it. Usually she just brushes it off and tries not to make a big deal out of it but today she broke and cried. I tried asking her what was wrong and asked if i could help her, and she said she was fine – she clearly wasn't. She was in the bathroom though so I couldn't really come in

I don't know what to do. And this has made me realize how fast my mom is aging which worries me. It's too soon and I don't want this issue worsening or her being troubled more.

I will try recommending her to go have it checked already with a doctor. She is uncomfortable with having those kinds of checkups so she really hasn't tried to before.

TL:DR: rant concerned for my mom undergoing constinence at such an early age
