Helpful information about diagnosis and treatment

There are many reasons why our bodies start acting up — genetics, aging, weight gain and environmental influences to name a few. The important thing is to pay attention to your body and seek care.

Is your bladder acting up?

If you suffer from bladder problems, you know the serious impact it can have on your lifestyle and relationships. But it is important to remember that you are not alone. It is estimated that over 200 million people worldwide suffer from problems with bladder control including leaking, accidents and the constant need to go to the bathroom.

Bladder issues signal a change in the body’s function. In some cases, it is the result of natural changes that occur over time such as the weakening of pelvic muscles in women or the enlargement of the prostate gland in men. In other cases, it’s a result of injury or an indication of a more serious problem.

Bladder problems can present in many different ways. For some people, it’s little leaks. For others, it’s complete emptying of the bladder. And for some people, the biggest bother is needing to use the bathroom constantly day and night.
