Arms

  • Experimental: Taking pumpkin seed extract
    Upon a patient's enrollment into the study and completion of initial study questionnaires, a research team member will provide the patient with a single bottle of pumpkin seed oil extract. Enrolled patients will be instructed to initiate using the pumpkin seed oil extract starting the day they receive the supplement. Patients will start taking one pill by mouth per day for 12 weeks. They will also be advised to contact their urogynecologist for follow-up if they have not noticed improvement in their bladder health following 3 months of use. Furthermore, they will be counseled about not starting new medications or supplements during their time as a study participant and not sharing their pumpkin seed oil extract with anyone else during their time as a study participant.
