Incontinence Treatment

Incontinence is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing embarrassment and discomfort in their daily lives. It is characterized by the inability to control bladder or bowel movements, often resulting in involuntary leakage.

Understanding Incontinence

Before discussing our treatment options, it is important to understand the different types of incontinence and their causes:

• Stress incontinence occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder, causing leakage. This can happen during physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
• Urge incontinence is characterized by a sudden and intense urge to urinate, followed by involuntary leakage. It is often caused by an overactive bladder.
• Overflow incontinence occurs when the bladder cannot empty completely, leading to frequent or constant dribbling of urine.
• Mixed incontinence is a combination of different types of incontinence.

Incontinence can be caused by various factors including aging, pregnancy and childbirth, urinary tract infections, and nerve damage. It can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions.

• Medications: Depending on the type of incontinence, your doctor may prescribe medications to help relax an overactive bladder or strengthen the muscles controlling urination.
• Behavioral therapies: This approach involves bladder training, where you are taught techniques to control and delay urination.
