Understanding Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence simply means a loss of bladder control. It can range from small leaks during activity to sudden urges that make it hard to reach the bathroom in time. It’s not one condition, it’s a symptom that can have several causes, and each requires a personalized approach.
Common types include:
- Stress incontinence: Leakage when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise.
- Urge incontinence: Strong, sudden need to urinate, often linked with overactive bladder.
- Mixed incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge symptoms.
- Overflow incontinence: The bladder doesn’t empty completely, leading to dribbling or constant leakage.
- Functional incontinence: Physical or neurological conditions make it hard to reach the bathroom in time.
How We Help
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your treatment plan depends on your symptoms, lifestyle, and health history and always begins with understanding what’s really happening.
1. Evaluation and diagnosis
We use bladder diaries, pelvic exams, and advanced testing such as urodynamics or ultrasound to identify the cause of your incontinence.
2. Conservative treatments
Many patients see dramatic improvement through non-surgical options like pelvic floor therapy, bladder retraining, dietary changes, and medications.
3. Advanced therapies
For persistent symptoms, our specialists offer proven procedures including:
- Urethral bulking injections for stress incontinence
- Mid-urethral sling surgery for support and closure
- Bladder Botox® injections to calm overactive bladder muscles
- Nerve stimulation (sacral neuromodulation or PTNS) to restore healthy bladder signaling
4. Ongoing support and follow-up
We stay with you long-term, tracking progress, fine-tuning therapies, and ensuring your results last.
