Unfortunately, this is a topic that came up after one of my team's long runs when someone expressed concern and embarrassment about urinary leakage. There was also a guy who had this concern about himself.
For the woman, it seemed to be her weight and pressure on her bladder contributing to the problem. Who knows what the cause was for the fellow. For some of us who have had children, and reached an age when things are falling down and apart, it's a very annoying condition that causes some anxiety about whether or not other people can detect an embarrassing odor.
Kegels don't necessarily work for everyone, so surgery might be an option. Everyday feminine pads help me deal with issues I experience on my long distance runs as my hydration belt tends to put a little pressure on my belly, that in turn puts a little pressure on my bladder. Oh, my!
