#47: Bladders and Bits: Let's Talk Incontinence
The Round Up: A Rural Health Podcast di Northern Queensland Regional Training Hubs
Note sull'episodio
Urinary incontinence is common, but it is not something patients should have to live with. In this episode of The Round Up, host A/Prof Elissa Hatherly is joined by gynaecologist Dr Ritu Rana and pelvic health physiotherapist Lauren Neill to unpack the causes, misconceptions, and management of bladder and pelvic floor conditions.
From stress and urge incontinence to prolapse and post-menopausal changes, the conversation breaks down key risk factors including childbirth, ageing, and chronic conditions.

They also highlight the importance of early assessment, identifying red flags, and tailoring care to each patient.
