"It is something we joke about, like 'oh look at him going to the toilet again', but it is more than a joke, if you or your friend is like that, it is an important sign you need to see a GP." These are the words of Simon Moffett, a 71-year-old man who has experienced incontinence.
Simon started experiencing incontinence issues five years ago. He said: "To give you an idea of how bad it was, my wife asked me if I wanted to go and watch a film in the cinema, and I had to say no, because I could not go and sit in a theatre for two hours without having a problem. I was on a bus in Cardiff one day and I could not manage. I felt terrible. It is the most awful and horrible feeling."
Simon, a retired engineer from Haverfordwest, wants to speak openly about the issues he faced as he wants other men to feel more comfortable about opening up and getting the treatment they need.
