Pelvic Disorders

Urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence — the involuntary loss of bladder control — is more common than you think. Approximately one in ten women under age 65 has urinary incontinence. Most women are very embarrassed by their urinary incontinence, so much so that they are reluctant to even discuss it with their doctor. The problem is, if you hide your incontinence, you risk any number of complications — skin infections, rashes, and urinary tract infections. You also may find yourself becoming more socially withdrawn, avoiding friends and family. More often than not, urinary incontinence can be treated and controlled, if not cured.
