From the publisher

Staying Dry is the highly acclaimed book that offers help to the millions of adult Americans who suffer from urinary incontinence--the involuntary passing of urine. Based on a program developed at the National Institute on Aging in association with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, it combines medical advice with an action plan that can help you solve an incontinence problem in a matter of weeks. It's a step-by-step appraoch that has helped up to 90% of the people who try it.

You've heard the myths about urinary incontinence. It's time you learned the facts:

Myth "This is just part of growing old. People have to live with it."
Fact Incontinence is not caused by aging. It's a symptom of one of several medical disorders.
Myth "The condition probably isn't treatable."
Fact 80% to 90% of known cases respond to the treatments described in this book.
Myth "You don't hear much about incontinence, so it must be pretty rare."
Fact Just beacuse people don't like to talk about a problem doesn't mean it's rare. In fact, half of all adult women suffer from urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. It affects one in five men.

If you have a bladder problem that's taken control of your life, Staying Dry is the book that will put you back in charge.
