My friend lost her bladder control in front of me. Is she okay?

A very good friend of mine and I were walking today, and all of a sudden she stopped and blurted out "Oh my God!" and just lost her bladder control right there on the sidewalk. She was wearing a skirt, and it just happened very suddenly and all at once, almost like when a pregnant woman's water breaks. Obviously she was humiliated, but I really didn't blame her at all and was very unphased by it, though I couldn't tell if she believed me when I told her that I really did not care (I do regret using this choice of words, as I DO care about her health and her emotional state after something like this). She began to say something like "I think I may have a problem... I'm so sorry," but didn't go into any more detail, and I of course wasn't going to pressure her.

I feel bad for her, and I really don't see her or our friendship any differently as a result of this, but I am a bit concerned for her health, since she is a young woman in her 20s and this sort of thing shouldn't be happening. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

    Its great that you are un phased by it and you should keep telling her that. Do help her in anyway you can and tell her not to be embarassed. Remember to tell her that you are still friends and that nothing could ever break your friendship and tht you eill help her anyway you can. Dont pressure her though. I think that you handled the situation perfectly and maturely.
