Urinary Incontinence Specialists in Atlanta

Have you experienced the feeling of trying desperately not to laugh, afraid of what might happen? Do you know what it’s like to keep track of the nearest available bathroom? Do you wear panty liners or pads “just in case”?

You’re not alone. One in five women in Atlanta suffer from urinary incontinence. Many keep silent because of embarrassment, or because they think there’s nothing to be done. But urinary incontinence isn’t something you just have to live with.

Your Atlanta-Area Board Certified Urogynecologists

woman with incontinence photoUrinary incontinence, or bladder leakage, is caused when the sphincter muscles become weakened or damaged. The sphincter muscles are the pelvic muscles that contract around the urethra, keeping urine inside the bladder. These muscles can become damaged because of age, stress, or childbirth, or because of a variety of other causes. But bladder leakage doesn’t mean you can never laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise again. The urogynecological specialists at Cherokee Women’s Health are here to help women in Atlanta overcome urinary incontinence. Our physicians diagnose urinary incontinence through specialized testing called urodynamics. These tests determine the cause of each patient’s bladder leakage, which allows our doctors to treat her effectively. Treatment options are personalized, taking into account each woman’s age, lifestyle, and the cause and severity of her condition. Options may include:

  • Individualized diet plans and fitness routines
  • Physical therapy
  • Medications
  • Minimally-invasive surgery to strengthen the pelvic muscles

Your life shouldn’t be spent hoping to avoid an embarrassing accident. Get help from a board certified urogynecologist. If you’re ready to reclaim your life from bladder leakage, call Cherokee Women’s Health in Atlanta.
