This information is an overview about bladder problems that can affect women, including urinary incontinence and cystitis. There are links to an expert interview, common myths and a woman’s story. Bladder problems can be extremely debilitating and many women suffer in silence. More awareness and research is needed so women can be freed from these problems. Wellbeing of Women are funding research into this often neglected area of women’s health.
