Urinary or Urologic Issues in Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonism
This webinar will discuss the various urinary symptoms that patients with Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism experience including frequency of urination, irritable bladder, urgency of urination, urination at night, urinary tract infections, etc. It will also discuss how the various Parkinson's medications affect the kidneys or urinary function, and the role of supplements in promoting urinary health. The importance of hydration in treating orthostatic hypotension (dizziness on standing or walking) and preventing common urinary issues in Parkinson's will also be tackled.
