Talking about it, whether with family and friends or with your doctor, takes courage. And discussing it is often the first step in getting help. Significant advances have been made in the treatment of incontinence. New medications that reduce or eliminate the signs and symptoms of urinary incontinence are now available. Minimally invasive treatments with such materials as longer-lasting bulking agents offer relief to people with urinary incontinence. And developments in medical technology, such as sacral nerve stimulation, provide options for reducing or alleviating problems associated with both urinary and fecal incontinence. Incontinence need not be something that you simply learn to live with. It can be treated, and in many cases improved or cured. This helpful and practical book from Mayo Clinic is in like new condition with no wear to the spine or binding. Pages are clean and unmarked.
