CONDITIONS TREATED
Urinary incontinence is a condition where a person is unable to control their bladder, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine. This can be a distressing and embarrassing problem that affects both men and women of all ages. There are several types of urinary incontinence, including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and overflow incontinence. Stress incontinence occurs when there is pressure on the bladder, such as during coughing, sneezing, or physical activity. Urge incontinence is characterized by a sudden and intense urge to urinate, often leading to leakage before reaching the bathroom. Overflow incontinence happens when the bladder is unable to empty completely, causing frequent dribbling of urine. Treatment options for urinary incontinence include lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of urinary incontinence.
