Overview

Overview of the Book: ""Your bladder deserves care, not silence."" Urinary incontinence (UI) simply means the involuntary leakage of urine-a loss of bladder control that can occur occasionally or frequently, ranging from a few drops to a complete loss of bladder content. While it is common, it is not normal, and certainly not an inevitable part of aging. It affects millions of women across all life stages - from young mothers to postmenopausal women - yet remains under-discussed, often hidden behind embarrassment or the false belief that ""nothing can be done."" For most women, talking about bladder control issues still feels uncomfortable - even though one in three women will experience incontinence at some stage of life. It may begin after childbirth, during menopause, or appear quietly as the years go by. Yet, behind every woman's hesitation is the same desire: to live freely, confidently, and without worry. As a gynecologist, I have met countless women who whisper about this concern only at the very end of their consultations - often after discussing everything else. They lower their voices, embarrassed to ask, ""Doctor, is it normal to leak a little when I cough or laugh?"" This silence is not because women are unaware - it is because society rarely speaks about pelvic health with honesty and compassion. This book was born from those conversations. ""Staying Dry and Active"" is written to break the silence, to turn complex medical explanations into clear, friendly guidance, and to help every woman realize that bladder control issues are common, manageable, and nothing to be ashamed of. Staying Dry and Active: is a compassionate, practical, and science-based guide for every woman who has ever felt embarrassed by bladder leaks or lost confidence due to urinary discomfort. From understanding how the pelvic floor works to learning easy lifestyle fixes, self-care routines, and when to seek professional help, the book guides women step-by-step from awareness to recovery. Inside, you'll discover: The silent causes of incontinence and how to recognize early warning signs. How pregnancy, menopause, and aging affect bladder control - and what to do about it.
