Weight loss will lead to a decrease in a very common disorder in women, urinary incontinence.  Obese women are twice as likely as normal-weight women to have this pelvic-floor disorder. According to researchers for the National Institutes of Health’s Pelvic Floor Disorders Network; other complications include fecal incontinence and pelvic-organ prolapse (when the uterus, bladder, small intestines or rectum sag into the vaginal area).
