bladder health

Bladder health refers to the proper functioning of the bladder, an organ that stores urine produced by the kidneys. Good bladder health involves maintaining a regular schedule for urination, staying hydrated, and managing potential irritants like caffeine and alcohol. Common issues include urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage), infections, and overactive bladder. Symptoms to watch for include frequent urination, pain, or blood in urine. Prevention includes eating a balanced diet, avoiding smoking, and regular exercise, while prompt medical attention for symptoms can help maintain bladder health and prevent complications.
