I'm happy to share good news of a favorable review of what I think is a great book that we put together on managment of urinary incontinence. I am proud to be lead author of a book that I think can help young and old alike - people who share the common problem of a "leaky bladder"
Overcoming Urinary Incontinence: A Woman's Guide to Treatment
Michael H. Safir, MD, Clay N. Boyd, MD, and Tony E. Pinson, MDOmaha, NE:
Addicus Books; 2008
158 pages
This book is written for an audience of women who want to understand more about urinary incontinence (leaking urine) and current modes of treatment. It includes a glossary, index, and list of organizations and Web sites that are helpful resources. Lifestyle changes, exercises, medications, surgery, and medical devices and equipment are described, along with references to Web sites that include more details. The positive aspects of the book include the clear explanations of complex topics, especially the surgical procedures that can be options when nonsurgical approaches don't relieve the problem. The tables and drawings are very helpful... overall, this book provides an excellent overview of incontinence disorders and treatment options and will be a valuable resource for many women.
