Bladder Leaks

Make an appointment

 

Involuntary urine loss, although embarrassing, is treatable. It affects many people, especially women over 50, as well as men and younger women, often due to a loss of pelvic muscle tone, bladder problems, difficult menstruation, postpartum issues, etc. (pregnancy, menopause, weight, medications, etc.)  

There are different types of incontinence, such as stress (coughing, laughing, sports), urgency (strong need), overflow (bladder too full), nocturnal (frequent need to urinate at night). These conditions are NOT a normal part of aging.  

 

Common Causes
  • Physical factors: Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, overweight, constipation, weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.  
  • Lifestyle factors: Caffeinated drinks, intense physical exercise.  
  • Medical factors: Certain medications, urinary infections, diabetes, neurological diseases.
