Home and Dry
Description
Something's up down below...
Urinary tract infections result in 8.1 million visits to a doctor every year, and between 50% and 60% of adult women will have at least one UTI in their lifetime. Meanwhile, overactive bladder affects nearly 1 in 5 of the over-40 population, yet many people wait up to 15 years before seeking treatment.
Maybe it's time we started taking pee a bit more seriously... Home and Dry is the ultimate guide to the bladder; not only will it help you to overcome problems such as recurrent infections or needing the bathroom all the time, it will also inspire wonder for a fascinating part of the body that we usually try to ignore. Using the latest research, Birgit Bulla explores the biggest problem area for women's health, and shows how taking care of your bladder will make you feel a whole lot better.

Birgit Bulla is a journalist who lives in Munich and works as a freelance editor for various magazines. Out of the blue in her mid-twenties, she developed an irritable bladder. The response to her blog, pinkelbelle.de, shows that she's far from alone. Today she knows everything about this part of the body, and it comes as no surprise: Bulla is, after all, the Latin word for bladder.
