" Wetting yourself in public is the most embarrassing situation that can befall an adult, according to a new survey of Brits. Researchers at Astellas Pharma and the BladderProblem.co.uk campaign polled 1,500 adults and found that both men and women cited &amp;#039;wetting themselves&amp;#039; as the number one embarrassing thing that could happen in public. However, the situation is not that uncommon as approximately seven million people in the UK alone live with a condition called overactive bladder, which means they could lose control of their bladder if unable to find a bathroom. Debbie Stuart, clinical manager at the Bladder and Bowel Foundation, said the survey findings were &amp;#039;not surprising&amp;#039;. &amp;#039;[Wetting themselves in public] can be a daily worry for people with an overactive bladder, or OAB, but we want to assure them that they are not alone in their worries, and that help and support are available.&amp;#039; The BladderProblem.co.uk campaign aims to raise awareness of overactive bladder and encourage people to visit their GP if they think they may have the condition. There are treatment options available, including medication, that can ease the problem and greatly improve people&amp;#039;s quality of life. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
