Urinary Incontinence in Adults with Spina Bifida

Melissa Kaufman, MD focuses on changes in bladder management as one ages, bladder management options, and how to keep one's kidneys safe. She also discusses how to recognize urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly when they manifest without pain, and how often to check for UTIs in order to prevent infections that are difficult to treat. Additionally, she explains common misconceptions about bladder health and aging.
