could you please tell me the out come of the pelvic floor excercise equipment or better still tell me how i can watch this again,also can these be used when you have the coil fitted? mandi
Could you please remind me of the outcome of the tests to find the most effective pelvic/vaginal exercise equipment.
I remember the show demonstrating three or four of them, with one being the outright most effective but cannot recall which one. thank you

Have you heard of interstitial cystitis. I have had botox injections 7 weeks and there is no improvement. I have terrible urgency and a lot of frequency 22/23times day including night-time. I cannot understand that I am not better as I was told the Botox would make a big difference to the urgency.

I have an over active bladder, and it effects me socially and it is effecting my work, I'm a sales rep. and i have to stop regularly, but as soon as i need the toilet i cant hold it,even as i wake in the morning i sometimes don't make it to the loo in time. it is getting that bad i cant hold an appointment with customers without going first. I need something to be done before i get the sack. but don't know what, HELP
When i sneeze, cough, laugh or do anything that is strenuous, i often wee a little.
its kind of embarrasing and as i lead a very active, outdoor lifestyle, i just wondered if there is anything i can do to sort this out, I'm only 19 and its annoying me!!
