Addressing the most commonly asked questions about incontinence, this accessible reference discusses causes, types of incontinence, and how the condition is diagnosed. The wide range of treatment options is introduced, from pelvic floor therapy and bladder training to electrical stimulation, medications, and surgeries. Eleven million women in the U.S. are coping with urinary incontinence—half of whom are too embarrassed to discuss the matter with their doctors—and this guidebook provides encouragement, showing that in more than 80 percent of cases, treatment can improve or even cure the problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing, wonderful book!, April 27, 2008

By	Margaret Slayton (Northridge, CA) - See all my reviews

In my opinion, this is a Terrific book for women! It is very well written, and not at all condescending to women. There are millions of women that should read this book. Many women deal with this subject in silence, as I did, because of embarrassment and a hard thing to share with your friends. Everything is explained so well in plain language that we can all understand! This is a book and "Subject" that needs to be on "Oprah"! Bravo! Well Done! Thank you for writing the book.
