"Which health issue costs women the most money (in diagnosis and treatment) every year? -Occasional Incontinence, Breast Cancer, or The Flu?" Parade Magazine published this Women’s Health Quiz on 10/16/2010.
The answer was Occasional Incontinence, experienced by "38% of women, spending more than $20 billion per year to manage", Parade went on to say.
Here's what some customers are telling us about their cost of bladder control issues:
- Liz: "My pharmacist once showed me line by line the costs of each item for him to handle his 79 year old mother’s incontinence issue: $2,400 a year out of pocket cost."
- Rosemary, a retired teacher, spent $191 a month on a bladder medication. After insurance reimbursement of $40, her cost was $151. That’s $1,812 a year out of pocket.
- Rosemary researched for alternatives and started to use BetterWOMAN in 2010. She is now saving more than $1,200 a year on her bladder control problems.
- Caro started BetterWOMAN in 2009. She used to spend $119 for one month on bladder medication that caused her severe dry mouth. Now she saves $74 per month and enjoys her life fully and freely.
- Wendy discovered BetterWOMAN in 2009 after she got fed up with spending $125 per month on bladder problems. She is now saving $80 a month and happy to have her reliable body back.
