About the author
Birgit Bulla is a journalist who lives in Munich and works as a freelance editor for various magazines. Out of the blue in her mid-twenties, she developed an irritable bladder. The response to her blog, pinkelbelle.de, shows that she’s far from alone. Today she knows everything about this part of the body, and it comes as no surprise: Bulla is, after all, the Latin word for bladder.
