Do you suffer from embarrassing bladder leakage? You’re not alone. 1 in 5 women suffers from urinary incontinence, a treatable problem that many mistake as an unavoidable byproduct of aging. Urinary incontinence is caused by a weakening of the muscles that support the urethra. This damage can occur during childbirth, as a result of trauma, by hormone changes, or for a variety of other reasons. But no matter what has caused your leaky bladder, you don’t have to live with it.

There are a variety of treatment options available for women in Woodstock with urinary incontinence. Depending on the severity of the problem, effective treatments can include:

  • Physical therapy
  • Changes in diet or fitness
  • Medications
  • Minimally-invasive surgical procedures

Urinary incontinence is no laughing matter. It can cause embarrassing bladder leaks when laughing, sneezing, sleeping, coughing, lifting, or exercising. The physicians at Cherokee Women’s Health have the knowledge, experience, and level of care needed to effectively treat urinary incontinence. We use specialized testing called urodynamics to determine the cause and scope of your bladder leakage. Our physicians can often treat patients’ conditions medicinally. For tougher cases, a minimally invasive sling is required, a procedure which only takes 30-45 minutes.

If you’re dealing with accidental bladder leakage, difficulty holding your bladder, or urine leakage during normal activities, you don’t have to live with it anymore. We’ll diagnose the problem and get you on the road to recovery, so you’re free to laugh, cough, sneeze, and live life without worry.
