As we age, urinary problems such as urgency, frequency, leakage, and nocturia (waking in the night to urinate) resulting in physical and mental fatigue and reduced quality of life become more commonplace. Many people are troubled by this but find it difficult to talk about. As a result, they do not promptly seek medical attention. Here, an eminent Japanese professor and physician offers bladder and pelvic floor muscle training to help with these issues.
A recent survey conducted by the Japanese Society of Urinary Function revealed that frequent urination is quite prevalent among people aged 40 years and older, with nearly 40 million experiencing the condition during the day and 45 million facing it at night.
