Regaining Bladder Control - For Incontinence on Exertion or Following Pelvic Surgery (Paperback, New edition of Revised edition)

This booklet is for those suffering from exertion or 'stress' incontinence. It describes a new approach based on a planned series of exercises aimed at restoring the bladder. The anatomical causes of this type of incontinence are clearly explained and illustrated. There is no substitute for the self-discipline of exercises, but the book also deals with two other important points: correct breathing and balanced diet which will not lead to constipation or to being overweight. There is also a section on preparations for counteracting the incontinence that may result from pelvic surgery. Doctors and physiotherapists will be able to recommend this booklet to their patients.
