People with bladder weakness may finally be spared embarrassment thanks to new diagnostic test
One in five people have an overactive bladder which can cause leakages
Now scientists are a step closer in the development of a 'game-changer' test

A diagnostic tool similar to a pregnancy test would detect the chemicals
Getting treatment with speed would stop the condition worsening
Dr John Young and Dr Sepinoud Firouzmand, both in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences at University of Portsmouth, published their research in Nature's Scientific Reports.
