If you are struggling with bladder issues, the different treatment options can be pretty overwhelming. While many of us are able to manage our condition without intervention, occasionally other treatment such as self-catheterisation may be recommended. But is it suitable for you? Let's take a look...
Are you experiencing the need to frequently go to the loo at night - or maybe you are finding you are leaking in your sleep? These symptoms are defined by two conditions, Nocturia and Nocturnal Enuresis, but how do they differ?
Think testosterone is only a male hormone? Not so! From brain to bladder and our pelvic floor, it's an vital hormone for women too and recent research has found that a decline in testosterone as we age may cause overactive bladder.
Are you constantly waking up to find that you've leaked wee in your bed? Even when night-time leaks don't happen often, they can still be a total pain. But they don't have to be. There are tons of women who experience night-time incontinence, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Taking action is the first step to finding relief from this uncomfortable condition.
Do you constantly find yourself going to the bathroom? Are you spending more time in the bathroom than in any other room of the house? Or maybe you're struggling with leaks that are linked to overactive bladder. Either way, bladder troubles suck. There's no denying it. But they don't have to be a life sentence. Seeking advice from a licensed doctor is important if you have any new bladder symptoms as they can help to diagnose you and exclude more worrying conditions that can have similar symptoms.
