Bladder health is important throughout our lives, but as we age, it becomes even more crucial. For the elderly, bladder problems can cause inconvenience and may also lead to serious health issues if unmanaged.
The bladder is an essential part of our urinary system, storing and releasing urine from the body. As we age, the muscles that control the bladder can weaken, leading to incontinence or urinary tract infections. These problems can severely impact our quality of life. In some cases, bladder problems can also lead to more serious health problems.

The first step in taking care of your and your loved one's bladder is to educate yourself on bladder health and common problems. By learning about the common causes of bladder problems and how to prevent them, you can take proactive steps to maintain your bladder health.
