Incontinence is a common problem, involving lack of control over the passage of urine from the bladder, leading to unintentional leakages.
It can be a feature of getting older, although is also more common following pregnancy and vaginal birth, or in cases of obesity or a family history of incontinence.
The four main types of urinary incontinence are:
Urinary incontinence may be successfully treated with pelvic floor exercises, which strengthen the muscles that control the flow of urine, bladder training, which helps you to wait longer between the feeling of urinary urgency and the passing of urine, or lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise. In all cases, these treatments are guided by a specialist and depend on the diagnosis.
Temporary relief and management of the condition can be obtained through using incontinence pads or portable urinals.
Medication and surgery may also be recommended, where the symptoms cannot be managed through other means.
Our specialists are here to assist you in determining the optimal course of action for managing urinary incontinence and improving your quality of life.
