OK SCR35

Designates November 2016 as "Bladder Health Month" in Oklahoma through concurrent resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Recognizes that tens of millions of Americans are affected by bladder diseases and conditions including urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, bladder cancer, and neurogenic bladder.

Acknowledges that bladder diseases significantly impact health and quality of life, contributing to depression, social isolation, sexual dysfunction, hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and death.

States that medical and behavioral research to better understand and treat bladder diseases is critically needed.

Affirms that open dialogue during Bladder Health Month can reduce stigma surrounding bladder problems and encourage providers and patients to have conversations about bladder health.
