Incontinence is a serious and common issue affecting millions. People usually keep quiet about this sort of thing...but NOT ANYMORE!

Simple information

This offers a simple explanation of bladder incontinence and a simple description of a simple solution. It does not describe any surgical options or other more current options. It did do a good job of explaining the urinary system.

This is one of those books that no one wants to admit meeting, and yet millions of us need the well written and timely information in this book. The offers right in a style that is easy to understand and where use of medical jargon is explained where it must be used. I have learned a lot of helpful information from this book, and I especially appreciate it’s encouraging and sympathetic tone.
