• Do you get up often over night to go empty your bladder? 
• Do you constantly need to go to the toilet? 
• Do you find it difficult to empty your bladder? 
• Do you experience pain with bladder emptying? 

Bowels 

• Do you suffer from constipation or strain to empty your bowels?
• Do you accidentally loose control of your bowels?  or accidentally pass wind? 

Pelvic organs

• Do you feel a heaviness, pressure, discomfort, pulling or dragging sensation around your vagina or back passage?
