It is so nice to know that there are women out there to help with these issues. It is hard to discuss sexual problems sometimes, so she is truly a rare blessing!

I don’t hear much about sexual incontinence in women. I would think this is a situation where men would be more apprehensive to discuss this issue. It’s great that there are doctors out there like Dr. Foote who address issues that the average person barely thinks about.
