Introduction to Female Urology

My day starts off with a rush to the bathroom, at the crack of dawn. Only to trip over the sleeping dog, while little drops of stored urine begin to leak, uncontrolled, and increase to a full-on emptying. What on earth is happening!! I am now rudely and unexpectedly awake, dripping, frustrated, and embarrassed, even if the dog is the only witness to my dramatic morning. Ugh. Really. I have given my body to the duty of child carrying and baring, and now it is returned to me like this!?! I am young, I am too young..

This my friends, is only one example of how the urinary system can take over. It can leave you feeling frustrated, angry, and out of control. And don’t forget embarrassed and scared to undertake normal daily activities that may leave you wet and on display. What to do? Keep it to yourself and suffer? No, NOT YOU! There is help…there is a renewed life waiting around the bend..

This scenario depicts urgency and urge incontinence. There are 6 different types of incontinence, and this is a very common one. It does happen to the young, and it happens mostly to the gracefully aging beauties among you! It can emerge quickly, or it can creep up on you, one drip at a time…one pad at a time, until your purse is full of diaper like, powerful fluid absorbers and extra panties. Oh, and did I mention how big your purse is now? Ugh. Again.
