DESCRIPTION:
Information on specific diets, a review of the range of conditions that can cause pelvic pain, and a thorough guide to additional resources complete the book.. As a registered nurse, Wendy Cohan has provided health information and treatments for patients with a number of bladder conditions. She lists frequently prescribed medications, explains how they work, and identifies their side effects. Bladder problems affect millions of people, and recovery is often difficult and incomplete. The bulk of the book picks up where medical treatment leaves off: the use of diet and herbs, regular exercise, stress and pain reduction techniques, and methods for better sleep are discussed. She begins with a description of the anatomy and function of the urological system and the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of typical bladder problems. Cohan includes self-assessments, meal plans, herbal recipes, and a week-by-week recovery plan to create a complete holistic approach to bladder wellness

I've learned a lot from this book - it's very thorough, and as someone who's suffered from bladder issues (neurogenic bladder) for a couple years now, it gave me a lot of new information that I've never heard or been able to get from any other doctor, nurse or urologist
