Esther Han, D.O., FACS, FACOS, Urologist, Director of Pelvic Health at Texas Urology Specialists– Arlington, shares an important message about women’s urological health for Women’s Health Week, encouraging women to speak openly with their healthcare providers about urological concerns.
“Many women suffer in silence with urological issues, believing they’re simply part of aging. But conditions like overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and recurrent UTIs are treatable, and can significantly impact quality of life when addressed. I encourage women to speak openly with their healthcare providers about these concerns—you deserve comprehensive care for ALL aspects of your health.” — Esther Han, D.O., FACS, FACOS, Urologist, Director of Pelvic Health at Texas Urology Specialists-Arlington
