The first step is to see your doctor to make sure there is no other cause for your infections, and this may involve a scan of your kidneys and bladder, ...

It is not uncommon for some teenagers to leak a small amount of urine during laughing or physical activity. Sometimes it's due to children 'holding it in' for long periods of time during the day (if the...

Re: Overavtive bladder-liklihood of being cured?
Hi Apache21
I think that your daughter has had the appropriate tests and seeing a paediatric surgeon will hopefully shed more light on things. Sugary and sweet drinks can really affect bladder symptoms and so you should try as much as you can to substitute these drinks for water.
Good luck!
