According to some reports, adult diaper sales are now outpacing the sale of baby diapers. Let’s face it. Bladder health is a topic that’s difficult and embarrassing for many people to talk about. But not discussing it, in particular conditions like overactive bladder, and associated symptoms, can affect one’s overall health resulting in self-esteem issues and isolation. It can also mean dealing with a lifetime of bladder problems that could be remedied if shared with a doctor. November is Bladder Health Awareness month and joining this Need to Know segment to address some of the myths and misconceptions associated with this issue is Dr. Gunhilde Buchsbaum, the Director of the Division of Urogynecology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Dr. Buchsbaum is also the founder and director of UR Medicine’s Pelvic Health and Continence Specialties practice.
