The @PlusConsortium's research on #BladderHealth in women and girls. @arianasmith23 @PennMedicine joins Alan Wein, MD, PhD, FACS @dsui_miami_uro sharing data from the #RISEforHealth cohort of 3,422 US women, showing that mild #LUTS are nearly universal and over one‑third report moderate-to-severe symptoms—yet only few seek treatment and a large percentage use coping behaviors like pads and toilet mapping. The new bladder health scales reveal a wide spectrum of bladder well-being, even among women without LUTS, and early analyses link factors like early sexual debut and perimenopause to higher LUTS risk, underscoring the need for prevention-focused strategies across the lifespan. #WatchNow to learn more > bit.ly/4q3Jr5d
