Product Description
More than 15 million women in America suffer from chronic bladder control problems. Women may tolerate this uncomfortable and embarrassing condition for years, believing their difficulties are "just a part of aging" or that there is nothing they can do about it. Not true! Urinary incontinence is highly treatable. This sensitively written book details medically sound steps that include behavioral changes and exercises that can improve the continence of eight in ten women. These simple "at home" remedies, such as small dietary changes and easy-to-learn pelvic floor exercises, bring many women welcomed relief. Beyond this basic approach, the authors help readers to understand the various causes of urinary incontinence and guide them through diagnosis and the treatment process. The wide array of treatment options available include physical therapy, medications, pessaries, and, in some cases, surgery. First-hand perspectives offer readers a candid and realistic view. The handy workbook format includes innovative worksheets and self-assessment questionnaires. This versatile healthcare resource, full of comforting and practical information, will help women with bladder control problems regain their dignity and independence.

Regaining Bladder Control: What Every Woman Needs to Know

Thank you Drs. Rogers and Shagam and Ms. Kleinschmidt for this great book.

There's a saying in business, "You can't manage what you can't measure" and this book certainly lives up to its name, it gives any woman the means to both measure and manage those embarrassing "leaks." Thouroughly and knowledgeably written and illustrated.
