Your bladder is not broken, and you are not alone. For many women, the menopause transition brings a new and unsettling set of changes: a sudden leak when you laugh, sneeze or run; a constant, urgent feeling that you must find a bathroom now; and the return of urinary tract infections that seem to arrive out of nowhere. This practical, compassionate guide unpacks exactly what is happening to your pelvic floor, your urethra and your oestrogen-sensitive tissues, and why these symptoms are real, common and often treatable. Written by health writer Fenella Bellingford Braybrooke, it walks you through everyday strategies, the questions worth asking a clinician, and how to make confident choices about your care. You will learn how to prepare for a medical appointment, what red flags deserve attention, and why your symptoms deserve a serious hearing rather than a shrug. Take the worry and shame out of the conversation and put practical knowledge back in your hands. Part of The Menopause Companion Library.
