Not just a problem of ageing, incontinence is caused or aggravated
by medications, childbirth, hysterectomy, stress, bladder
infections, fibroids, oestrogen loss, or diabetes. Not
surprisingly, it is mostly women who suffer from bladder control
problems. This comprehensive and practical guide will give them the
help they need by providing them with all the information they need
on: the different types of incontinence and how each is diagnosed
and treated, surgical vs. non-surgical treatments, effective
self-help techniques, how to find the right doctor and more...
'This will start a revolution for women.' CONSTANCE HALL As young
girls, most of us were given the talk about how to manage our
periods. It's the beginning of a tedious bloody grind, one of the
last great taboos. But the truth is, the menstrual cycle has
benefits - big, fantastic, daily, monthly, even lifelong, benefits.
Every month, you have four hormonal phases that keep coming around.
Each phase bears its own gifts and ways of making us feel: a time
to dream, a time to do, a time to give and a time to take. Once you
know what these phases are, you can predict them, plan for them and
use them over and over again. In fact, harnessing your period
superpowers will make you unstoppable (until you choose to stop,
that is). Period Queen takes the worst thing about being a woman
and turns it into the best thing. Author and period preacher Lucy
Peach urges us to stop treating periods like nature's consolation
prize for being a woman, banishing the notion that hormones reduce
us to being random emotional rollercoasters. Become an expert in
recognising what you need at different times of the month and learn
how every cycle gives you a chance to cultivate the most important
relationship of your life: the one with your precious self. It's
pretty bloody amazing.
