If your bladder has you constantly sprinting to the restroom, and sometimes you don’t quite make it, here are two things you should know: You’re not alone. And help might be just around the corner.

Overactive Bladder, sometimes called “urge incontinence” affects nearly half of all women over the age of 40. Many don’t want to talk to their doctor about it or deal with the side effects of medication used to treat it.

Dr. Suzette Sutherland, Director of Female Urology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, is involved in clinical trials for devices that may help. One of them is wearable and can be easily inserted and removed by the patient – offering new hope for those with this common condition.
