My first born child is nearly 18 years old. I gave birth naturally with no problems. I’ve had 2 more children since then. The problem is, whenever I get a cough or cold I lose urine and it runs down my leg. It’s very embarrassing and can smell. Is there any surgery I can get to stop this happening? I’m 50 years old this year.

You can definitely get help. Your symptoms are suggestive of pelvic organ prolapse. A consultation with a urogynecologist (gynecological examination, voiding tests, questionnaires) will get you a long way. Best of luck.
