Over half of women with pelvic floor symptoms never seek help; one in five say embarrassment is why.\r\n\r\nWe believe the term \"urinary incontinence\" is part of the problem. \"Bladder health\" could reframe the same conditions as something to manage, like heart or mental health. We're asking Government to require the NHS to make that change, and back the women who need it.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":100,"closing_date":"2027-04-05","created_at":"2026-07-20T15:29:10.111Z","updated_at":"2026-10-07T08:45:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-05T14:58:36.646Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-20T15:43:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Frances
