Thanks for the important information, Dr. P.
I think I've finally figured out why my kids don't like my chocolate sundaes!
MY 10 YR.OLD DAUGHTER HAS URGENT FREQUENCY TO URINATE, BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS URINATE ONCE ON TOILET. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW. DOES NOT BURN OR STING WHILE URINATING. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
For heaven's sake! Find a doctor in your area!

The scary thing about these warnings is that you know somebody had to have done these things in order to warrant the "warning"... I guess it does take all kinds to make the world go 'round, doesn't it???
