Recent poster in Turkey of a wish list for earthquake victims. No 1 = shroud fabric. No 2 = adult nappies. #Continence so important in humanitarian crises. Thought of you @VaittinenTiina@PadprojectV

We worry the intersections of #incontinence and SV and/or FGM/C are such #taboos, that we need a lot of responses to sa anything useful. Please share ⬇️⬆️🙏🧵

[TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual violence and/or female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)]🧵2/x
@PadprojectV seeks to map how #incontinence related to sexual violence (all genders) and/or FMG/C is voiced out and treated in complex #humanitarian#health work.
The survey will close on Friday 10th of March, and it is found through this link: https://t.co/71b2H5ysyY
The survey is part of a wider research project @PadprojectV conducted in @TampereUni led by yours truly, and funded by @SuomenAkatemia and @KoneenSaatio.

I am not speaking at #EAU23, but look forward to an interesting few days of hanging around, learning and pondering how it all connects to sosio-technical #infrastructures of #sustainable#continence#care, and @PadprojectV🤔
Interested? Let's connect!
It was a pleasure to return to European Parliament this week, to Co-Chair with @heinvanpoppel an event hosted by @TomislavSokol MEP.
A truly collaborative discussion on challenges of urinary problems affecting #bladdercancer , prostate cancer many other patients
#LaughDontLeak research says about 60% of women wet themselves and 3/4 of us with stress incontinence get dry with #DoYourPelvicFloorExercises. So you’d think someone would have told you about it, right? They didn’t, so that’s why I’m doing #DryByChristmas. Like follow share!
Yesterday's event on the challenge of urinary incontinence for people living with prostate and bladder cancer was thought provoking. My reflection: we can do better. Patients shouldn't have to struggle with pads that dont fit or work -and that cause environmental damage.
