Yael> Mine got progressively better over the space of about 18 months, however I was bellydancing as regularly as I could stand it (good for abdominal muscles generally) and I was pretty good about the pelvic floor exercises too. I really didn't notice it all for 7 or so years, but I guess I'll always just have to be on top the pelvic floor awareness!

Rachael> Mine was diagnosed by a GP who said not to worry and provided no information/reassurance/treatment as such. Took it up several months later when we moved to a new city, with another GP, since she specialised in women's health issues. I didn't need to take it further, since no surgery etc req'd.

We move around a lot, so I always ring the local women's health information line (there's one in every state we've been to) and ask for a list of GPs that are recommended for women's health. This is the only way I've been able to consistently get good GPs. If you have a good GP they will generally only refer you to specialists that are good as well. You will probably find that first stop will be a referral to the local incontinence clinic staffed by either nurses or physiotherapists, depending on the severity. Hope that helps.
