Urinary leakage is incredibly common among women of all ages, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it! For too long, it’s been considered a normal part of life, but leakage can be frustrating, embarrassing, and even a sign of other underlying issues. The good news? There are effective treatment options.

As a urogynecology practice, we’re passionate about helping women regain control over their bladder health. Here’s a quick breakdown of common bladder issues:

– Urinary frequency – Peeing eight or more times a day or waking up multiple times at night. This can be caused by excessive fluid intake, UTIs, bladder irritation, stress, diabetes, certain medications, and more.

– Urge urinary incontinence – Sudden, intense urges to urinate, sometimes leading to leakage before reaching the bathroom.

– Stress urinary incontinence – Leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.

– Mixed urinary incontinence – A combination of both urge and stress incontinence.

First-line treatments include pelvic floor therapy, dietary changes, vaginal estrogen (for peri- and postmenopausal women), and medication. If these don’t work, we’ll explore further testing and advanced treatment options tailored to your needs.

No more just “going with the flow” (a little urogyn humor!). If urinary symptoms are affecting your life, let’s talk about how we can help.
