About this listen

Many people with Parkinson's disease experience urinary or bladder issues at some point in their journey. These symptoms can take different forms and may affect people differently based on gender. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward understanding how to manage them and when to seek care.

In this episode, Dr. Ankita Gupta, MD, MPH, FACOG, a urogynecologist at University of Louisville Hospital, talks about common bladder issues in Parkinson's, such as urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia. She explains how these symptoms can affect quality of life and even contribute to social isolation, and she highlights treatment options that can help manage them.
