Have you got Cystitis
Cystitis is common in women. A 3 day course of antibiotics is a common treatment. It clears quickly without complications in most cases. We are
happy for you to self diagnose and ask us for a prescription for antibiotics. More >>

Are you having difficulties controlling your bladder?
Urinary incontinence is common, especially in women. It can occur at any
age. As many as 1 in
5 women over the age of 40 have some degree of urinary incontinence.
Stress incontinence is the most
common form. It occurs when the pressure in the bladder becomes too great
for the bladder outlet to withstand. It usually occurs because the pelvic floor
muscles which support the bladder outlet are weakened. Urine tends to leak
most when you cough, laugh, or when you exercise (such as jump or run). More >>
Urge incontinence (unstable or overactive bladder) is the second commonest cause.
This is when you get an urgent desire to pass urine. More >>
