A member asked:

Right before my period i have weak bladder control is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same nerve pathway: It is the same nerve that stimulates the bladder and the uterus which produces the cramping and period. Make sure that you don't have a undiagnosed urinary tract infection by seeing your MD.
