Bladder
Dysfunction: A Seriously Under Diagnosed Problem
Bladder
dysfunction is common among adults, but seriously
under-diagnosed. It is estimated that 35 million
Americans suffer from bladder disease.1
Due to embarrassment about urinary symptoms such
as incontinence, many patients wait years before
seeking treatment for poor bladder health. More
than 50% of patients with incontinence do not
volunteer information about their symptoms.2
Bladder
Assessment for Primary Care
Today,
primary care physicians have access to a growing
number of pharmaceutical treatment options for
bladder dysfunction. The bladder assessment kit
provides physicians with the diagnostic tools
they need to prescribe bladder medications appropriately
and determine when referral to a urologist is
necessary. Because conditions such as urinary
retention are a contraindication for certain incontinence
medications, it is important that a complete bladder
assessment is performed before bladder medications
are prescribed.
