Types of Incontinence We Treat
Stress Incontinence
This happens when one urinates while engaging in other activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. This can also occur when one has weakened pelvic floor muscles due to childbirth, surgery, or aging.
Urge incontinence
Urge incontinence is defined by a sudden, intense desire to urinate that results in involuntary leakage. The user feels as though they have an overactive bladder. Urge incontinence interferes with sleeping, working, and socializing.
Mixed incontinence.
In the case of mixed incontinence, there are symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence. This is much more complicated to handle. There is leakage during physical activities and also during sudden urges
Post‑Partum incontinence
Most women experience urine leakage following the delivery of their baby, which may be due to their pelvic floor muscles being stretched or weakened. If left untreated, this condition may persist for several months.
Postsurgical Incontinence
Surgery to the prostate or gynecological operations can interfere with the nerves that supply the bladder, so that incontinence may occur after surgery. Postsurgical incontinence can manifest as leakage, urgency, or not being able to hold urine.
Age‑related changes
With aging, there is a natural weakening of the pelvic floor muscles naturally weaken, reducing support for the bladder. Older people may have frequent leakage, urgency, or both and face difficulty managing bladder control.
