About this item
In A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Health a urologist and a physical therapist offer expert and reassuring advice to women. For example, one of every four women suffers from urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine. Elizabeth E. Houser and Stephanie Riley Hahn want these women to know that they do not have to cope in silence with this embarrassing problem, limit their lifestyle, or spend thousands of dollars on adult diapers.Symptoms involving the pelvic floor, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and decreased sexual sensation, can occur at any age. A wide range of treatments, such as targeted exercises, nutrition, and acupuncture, as well as medications and surgical approaches, can bring relief. Case studies and illustrations help readers explore the cause of their own symptoms and how treatments work.
About the Author
Elizabeth E. Houser, M.D., a board-certified urologist in private practice for many years, recently left her clinical practice to become a consultant in the field of women's pelvic health. She co-authored A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Health: Expert Advice for Women of All Ages specifically to educate and encourage women to get help for their pelvic health issues, since most of these women never seek help, and many wait almost seven years. Dr. Houser lives in Austin, TX with her husband and dogs.
