Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are quite common and are not necessarily cause for concern. They will typically be discovered during your annual exam and, in many cases, no treatment will be required. Here’s more valuable information about ovarian cysts.

Urinary Incontinence

Do you ever have trouble with bladder leakage or making it to the bathroom in time? If so, you may be suffering from urinary incontinence, a common medical condition which involves a loss of bladder control. It may happen when you laugh at a friend’s joke, or when you cough during a bad cold. You may also have an occasional urge to urinate that seems to come out of nowhere, but find yourself unable to reach the bathroom in time.

The condition is called menorrhagia, and it affects more women than you might expect!
