“I am a singer. But I could not sing because of the terrible cottonmouth I got from the bladder medications recommended by my urologist. I really had no choice. I had been wearing pads for years because of my bladder control problem. I tried everything: one bladder surgery (Transvaginal Sling operation), and all different kinds of bladder medications – nothing worked.  And my bladdder control just got worse and worse. It was very embarrassing. People want to know why I wouldn’t sing anymore,” 47 year old Beth said.

Incontinence can steal more life from younger women than from seniors

Bladder control problems can put immense emotional and economic toll on people and on their family members. In general, the emotional stress of incontinence problems to younger women can be considerably worse than that of less mobile seniors.

In the past year, we have had more young women contacting us to seek relief from incontinence.

  • Jane is a female police officer—she had a horrible time being in the public to direct traffics.
  • Gloria is a commercial truck driver- she was so stressed to find restroom stops along the highway.
  • Kathleen just got married and was nervous about her bladder control problems.
  • Mary is a school teacher and was horrified when she had an incident in front of  her class.

Incontinence can steal more life from younger women than from seniors: for them, it not only presents problems with daily routines and hobbies, but with relationships, careers, and jobs.

“I can sing again!”

Beth’s father saw a BetterWOMAN ad in AARP magazine and sent it to Beth with a note “What do you have to lose?” Beth did give BetterWOMAN a try.

“I saw improvements right away and I have been on BetterWOMAN ever since June 2010. I am no longer taking those awful bladder medications; I am no longer wearing pads. And I can sing again!” she said.

To Beth’s credit, she did not stop searching for solutions when surgery and western medications failed. She is not willing to succumb to the challenges her bladder presented to her. She is open to new ideas and new options. She acted and she won!

Beth’s father was right, “What do you have to lose?”

A Narrowly Missed Bladder Surgery - Case Report (3)

Shall we listen to our doctors on our health issues? Yes and No. I firmly believe that the key to our health is in our own hands. We need to take control, educate ourselves, evaluate all the options, and then make conscious decisions. We should not follow doctor’s advices blindly. I have observed countless cases to prove my point including my own experiences. 

The following is a case report about a narrowly missed bladder surgery.

Here are three emails from Sheila, a former colleague.

March 5, 2008:  “My mother (78) never told me she had stress urinary incontinence. I only found out when she told me she faced bladder surgery which would lay her up for 3 weeks and might not even work. I did research about Better WOMAN and downloaded the testimonial, FAQ and home page from your web site and mailed them to my mother. I was glad that my mother was very willing to try it and I got her 6 bottles.”

May30, 2008: “My mother is halfway through her 4th bottle. She’s not sure. She thinks there’s a subtle but not quite consistent improvement. Sometimes there seems to be less urge over a longer time but not always. She’s sticking with it. She decided definitely not to have bladder surgery no matter what. Her urologist looked at the bottle she brought and was very skeptical but said he knows nothing about herbs. She didn’t let that sway her, except away from non-essential surgery.”

June 15, 2008  “I found out today my mother already placed her second order and she’s definitely improved, she’s less panicked about making it to a bathroom and life is easier.”

What would happen if Sheila and her mother did not do their home work? We have heard from women who have gone through SEVEN bladder surgeries and are still leaking. 

The key is to take control, do your own research, make conscious decisions after evaluating all options, no matter what kind of health issues you are facing.
