Urinary Incontinence

One in five women suffer from urinary incontinence, which is also called bladder leakage. Leakage often occurs during simple everyday activities:
- Coughing
- Laughing
- Sneezing
- Lifting
- Jogging
What Causes Incontinence?
Incontinence occurs when the muscles that support the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) are weakened or damaged. This can happen as a result of childbirth, trauma, hormone changes and many other reasons.
Many women believe that a leaky bladder is a normal part of aging, and that nothing can be done about it. The truth is that you don’t have to live with this condition.
Dr. Litrel discusses treatment options for urinary incontinence.
Treatment Options
Incontinence can be treated in several ways, depending on the exact nature of the incontinence and its severity. Effective treatments can include:
- Changes to your diet and fitness routine
- Physical therapy
- Medications
- Minimally-invasive surgical procedures
Our physicians have a high degree of expertise in diagnosing and treating urinary incontinence. We can perform specialized testing called urodynamics, to determine the cause of your bladder leakage. Sometimes a simple medication can resolve the problem. Other times a minimally invasive sling procedure is required, which takes only 30-45 minutes.
