Summary:
"Something's up down below ... Urinary tract infections result in 8.1 million visits to a doctor every year, and between 50% and 60% of adult women will have at least one UTI in their lifetime. Meanwhile, an overactive bladder or urinary incontinence affect nearly 1 in 5 of the over-40 population, yet many people wait years before seeking treatment. Maybe it's time we started taking pee a bit more seriously ... Home and Dry is the ultimate guide to the bladder; not only will it help you to overcome problems such as recurrent infections or needing the bathroom all the time, it will also inspire wonder for a fascinating part of the body that we usually try to ignore. Using the latest research, Birgit Bulla explores the biggest problem area for women's health, and shows how taking care of your bladder will make you feel a whole lot better"--Provided by publisher.
