Editorial Review:In the course of a lifetime, more than half of all women will experience some form of debilitating pelvic disease or discomfort, including chronic urinary tract infections, various kinds of incontinence, pelvic floor prolapse, and interstitial cystitis. Surprisingly, until recently there has been only scant attention paid to this very common group of disorders, considering the vast population of sufferers. What’s more, doctors have long tended to dismiss many symptoms of urinary tract disorders as an inevitable consequence of the aging process or, worse still, as indicators of underlying psychological disease.
In this concise, clearly written, and sympathetic new book, Elizabeth Kavaler suggests that a new approach to UT disorders is long overdue. One of the surprisingly small number of female urologists practicing in the U.S., Dr. Kavaler explains what these diseases are and what patients can do to get themselves diagnosed and treated properly. But more than that, she extends an expert, sympathetic, and skilled hand to those who’ve been distressed, isolated, and embarrassed for too long.

Rating:  - The typos got to me
Yes, we do need books like this, but here's what I didn't like about this one. I flipped randomly through it (it has great diagrams) to Stress Incontinence, a chapter that starts out with a horribly scary story about a woman who has the wrong corrective surgery -- a hysterectomy!! and "bladder lift" -- due to a misdiagnosed (elsewhere) incontinence. She was no better after the surgery, and of course this was miraculously repaired by a second surgery performed by the author. Stories like this scare ... Read More
Rating: - Every woman should read this book
This book can help you, or someone you know, break through the wall of shame and silence that surrounds bladder problems in our society -- and get relief. If you've never recommended a book to anyone, let this one be your first! You'll be thanked by friends, sisters, mothers, or grandmothers, any one of whom may have experienced loss of bladder control, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), cystitis, or pelvic pain but was too embarrassed to talk about it even with a doctor.
