Approximately 60-80% of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience problems with bladder, bowel and/or sexual function. Since PD affects muscles, changes in pelvic floor could be responsible for urinary and f***l leakage with laugh, cough, sneeze; increased urinary urgency and frequency; constipation and other symptoms.
