Can your bladder be affected by the onset of the menopause?

Yes it can; falling oestrogen can affect bladder strength making it weaker so you can end up leaking, especially if you run or laugh!

A lot of women find that although they are drinking the same amount they are having to go to the toilet more, and some women get more frequent bladder infections.
