Someone had to say it...
."These effects range across the board, but being more aware of them can help support people's effort in managing their bladder health as best as they can."1. There have been significant delays in one's ability to access bladder health care
"One of the primary ways the pandemic has impacted bladder health is a delay in access to care. Many individuals put off seeing a healthcare provider to discuss their bladder health concerns," says Dr. Fosnight."This has led to significantly worse overactive bladder symptoms and cases, more urinary tract infections , worse complications from urinary tract diseases such as kidney injury, and a rise in urinary tract malignancies such as bladder cancer and prostate cancer." Oof.
Not only did the pandemic slam the health care system for a long time, which made it significantly harder to get in to see a provider, but it also became a space for risk of exposure to COVID-19. This delay in care makes an already hard-to-navigate system even harder. People who experience a slight burning sensation may not want to go in to see a doctor if they are at risk of exposure to severe COVID-19 cases or if they live with a family member who has the virus.
Additionally, the financial impact on families and individuals throughout the pandemic has led to even more unstable care accessibility. Some folks simply can't afford to find a primary care physician to talk to about their urinary incontinence when they sneeze or wake up to pee too often. Lastly, it can be hard to come to a physician with more open-ended concerns like OAB or incontinence because it can take time, money, and vulnerability to investigate.
Keep in mind that prioritizing preventative and long-term care options to prevent worse immediate illness is super important for bladder health."The thing is, much like going to get dental cleanings can prevent larger problems down the road, staying in touch with a provider and getting care when you see concerning symptoms is important—if this means stopping into urgent care when you feel burning," says Dr. Fosnight."This is because UTIs often need antibiotics to resolve.
