Understanding Urinary Incontinence: A Comprehensive Guide
It is estimated that over 60% of females over the age of 20 in the US experience urinary incontinence. However, this common condition does not have to be your normal! At Jordan and Associates OBGYN, we offer personalized care to help you overcome urinary incontinence and improve your quality of life.
If you leak when you exercise, don’t worry; we are here to help. The first step is to talk to our medical providers, who may refer you to a urogynecologist for specialized treatment. Our range of treatment options includes pelvic floor therapy, bladder retraining, vaginal devices, and outpatient surgeries like a bladder sling.
If you find yourself constantly running to the bathroom, our urogynecologist can provide a thorough assessment to offer various treatment options, from lifestyle counseling to medications and outpatient procedures.
Understanding the different types of urinary incontinence is essential. At Jordan and Associates OBGYN, we recognize four types: Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI), Mixed Urinary Incontinence (MUI), and Overflow Urinary Incontinence (OUI). Once diagnosed, our physicians will tailor a treatment plan to address your specific needs.
A pessary can be a conservative treatment option for patients who do not desire or require surgery. This small, removable silicone device is placed inside the vagina to help reduce symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence.
Our urogynecologist at Jordan and Associates OBGYN specializes in disorders of the pelvic floor, including urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, and pelvic organ prolapse. During your appointment, our trained medical providers will thoroughly review your medical history, symptoms, and concerns. A pelvic exam may be conducted to identify any contributing factors to your symptoms, which you can defer if you feel uncomfortable.
At Jordan and Associates OBGYN, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care to help you manage urinary incontinence and improve your overall well-being.
