Her more recent work, including her YouTube channel and podcast, focus on helping women improve their bladder function while they are waiting to be seen by a specialist.  Look for her new membership, which will provide detailed reviews on available incontinence products as well as a community and support, to open later this summer.  HOW TO LEARN MORE FROM SARAH:BLOG  thewomensbladderdoctor.com SOCIAL MEDIA  Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest @thewomensbladderdoctorYOUTUBE channel the women’s bladder doctorPODCAST While you wait...ADDIIONAL RESOURCES ON BLADDER LEAKS46.
