Treatments For Overactive Bladder Syndrome In Women Produce Modest Results

Explains the smell.
"About 11 million women in the United States cope on a daily basis with overactive bladder syndrome. Symptoms include sudden strong urges to urinate, difficulty delaying going to the bathroom, and in many cases involuntary loss of urine when the urge strikes. Researchers led by Katherine Hartmann, MD, PhD of the AHRQ-supported Vanderbilt University Evidence-based Practice Center, reviewed research evidence on treatments for overactive bladder. These treatments include prescription medications, both pills and patches; surgeries and procedures, behavioral interventions, and complementary and alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy and reflexology."
And what do you think increases the likelihood of an overactive bladder?
"In the multivariate model for the onset of an overactive bladder, there were significantly increased risks associated with obesity, smoking and consumption of carbonated drinks, and reduced risks with higher consumption of vegetables, bread and chicken. Obesity and carbonated drinks were also significant risk factors for the onset of stress incontinence, while consumption of bread was associated with a reduced risk." (source)
Guess the only overactivity fat people get are in their bladders and movements associated with eating.

BTW, if you read the article, you will see that drug treatment is no better than drugless treatments.
