In two large studies it was found that about 1 in 6 adults reported some symptoms of an overactive bladder. Symptoms vary in their severity. About 1 in 3 people with an overactive bladder have episodes of urge incontinence.

The brief answer ? lots of people! One estimate is that at least 2.9 million Canadians have an overactive bladder or suffer from incontinence. An overactive bladder is more common in women, and in older adults, but can be found in younger folks and in men. Unfortunately, many people who have symptoms of an overactive bladder suffer silently and needlessly because they do not seek medical help.

Overactive bladder occurs when the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily, like a muscle spasm, resulting in a sensation that the bladder is full when it is not. The unwanted urine leakage that happens shortly after a sudden, intense desire to urinate may make you feel that your bladder is controlling you, instead of you controlling your bladder.

Although the incidence of bladder cancer is low, there has been a significant increase in the disease over the last ten years.

Your baby is getting too much milk, too fast. The milk flow is so fast and strong that your baby can't swallow fast enough to keep up with it or your baby may ingest too much foremilk (lactose) and not enough hind milk, causing colic-like symptoms. There is no known cause for this syndrome.

N-Con Tonic can help to relieve the frustrating "urge" of overactive bladder as well as any incontinence.

The frequency is unknown but it appears to be a common cause of sudden and unexplained death in children and young adults. It is certainly much more common than previously thought. It may be as frequent as 1 in 5000 to 7000. This means, one of 5000 to 7000 newborns have the disease. The Jervell, Lange-Nielsen form is rare, but the Romano-Ward variant is being recognized with increasing frequency. In the USA, the presence of long QT syndrome is estimated to affect about 50.

TS was once thought to be a rare disease. However studies of ours in a Los Angeles school district indicate 1 in 100 school boys had TS. It is less common in girls. Subsequent studies in New York and England suggest an ever higher incidence. This makes it one of the commonest genetic disease affecting children. Because of the wide range of associated problems, TS is an important factor in many children with school and behavioral problems.

is much more common than previously realized and many adults are undiagnosed. Studies suggest that AS is considerably more common than "classic" Autism. Whereas Autism has traditionally been thought to occur in about 4 out of every 10,000 children, estimates of Asperger Syndrome have ranged as high as 20-25 per 10,000. A study carried out in Sweden , concluded that nearly 0.7% of the children studied had symptoms suggestive of AS to some degree.

Because OXYTROL is a patch that delivers medicine into your bloodstream and to your bladder, you are less likely to experience troublesome anticholinergic side effects, such as dry mouth and constipation. If you have any problems after the patch is applied, consult your physician. If you follow the instructions your physician gives you, you may not experience any side effects.

Bladder weakness affects about 7% of the population and is more prevalent in women. In fact, bladder weakness is just as common as hay fever! We have found in reserach that one in four women over 35 in the UK have experienced bladder weakness.

Women are more likely than men to be affected by Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. Some estimates say that 75% to 90% of those affected are women. For example, it has been estimated by some doctors that one third of all of young strokes (defined as under the age of 50) are due to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome. In obstetrics it is estimated by some doctors that up to 25% of all women with 2 or more spontaneous miscarriages have Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.

Down's Syndrome is in fact the most common of all learning disabilities approaching around 30% of all severe learning disability and featuring in 1 in 1000 births.

Frankly, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is extremely common. Anyone can be affected with it, but only a small percentage of people with IBS are treating the disorder.

Patients with NDI must restrict their sodium intake and take thiazides and/or other diuretics all their life if they want to reduce the level of urine output. Dehydration is the most serious risk and is greatest during infancy. However, dehydration can also pose a risk for adults if they become separated from an unlimited supply of fresh water. Hypertrophy (overgrowth) of the bladder (floppy bladder) and ureters can also occur and cause stasis and chronic urinary infection.

Around 50% of children and adults with reading problems have Irlen Syndrome. For some, Irlen Syndrome will be just part of the puzzle as they will have other reading/learning problems that need to be addressed, too. Irlen Filters will make the print clear and easy to see the page comfortably.

Studies show that about 25% of women have fibromas. They cause no problems unless they are large. There is no evidence that they affect fertility.

Reye syndrome is rare. Since 1994, two or fewer cases per year are reported in the U.S. There has been a dramatic decline of cases since the 1980s, when health experts began educating parents about the use of aspirin and aspirin-containing products for the treatment of chickenpox and other flu-like illnesses. Reye syndrome cases occur throughout the year, but are more frequent when viral diseases are epidemic, such as the winter months, or following an outbreak of chickenpox or influenza.
