Learn more about your urinary system. The urinary system is a marvel of complexity. In this 5 minute clip, we take you through the basics of the urinary system.
Not all urinary issues are the same, and some, like incontinence and urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common than you may think. But there are many treatment options available.
With urinary incontinence, you experience involuntary leakage of urine due to loss of bladder control. People often avoid seeking help since they find it embarrassing - which means the condition is sometimes left untreated.
If you are experiencing difficulty emptying your bladder generally or are unable to completely empty your bladder, this is referred to as urinary retention.
Urinary tract infections (UTI’s) occur when bacteria have a chance to grow in the urethra and bladder. Like any other kind of infection, the longer it goes untreated, the more serious the complications can be.
