Re: Seriously, A new side affect. UGH!
I agree with what Aussie Girl has said about the bladder. The bladder has ER receptors on it and suffers during periods of low estrogen - in your case and many of, during chemo the ovaries either shutdown or are in suspended animation. This leads to either leaking or UTI (infections) because the bladder walls thin due to lack of estrogen (same happens to the vaginal walls). You can either use est-ring or another product or just wait it out. Due to you age, you should resume your natural functions (menstruation cycle and normal hormone levels etc).
Are we having fun yet?
