Urinary incontinence does not have to be part of being a woman, having
children or getting older. At the Aurora Women's Pavilion Center for
Continence & Pelvic Floor Disorders, we care for sensitive medical
conditions like urinary incontinence, along with other pelvic floor
concerns.
Continence
Women no longer have to think that urinary incontinence is a natural part
of life. It is a medical condition, and it can be treated. We provide a safe
and discreet location where you can seek viable solutions to your
incontinence concerns.
Treatment of urinary incontinence is based on understanding the
underlying cause of the problem, starting with an accurate diagnosis.
Sometimes multiple factors are involved, so it is important for women to
have care that is integrated and coordinated.
The Center for Continence and Pelvic Floor Disorders is comprised of
specialists who work together to provide highly effective diagnosis and
treatment. Through a multidisciplinary team of urogynecologists, urologists,
gastroenterologists, occupational therapists and nurse specialists, we can
help women identify the source of their discomfort and create a personalized
plan to address their concerns.
There are 4 types of urinary incontinence:
Stress incontinence. Actions like coughing, sneezing and
laughing can affect a woman's ability to control her urine flow.
Urge incontinence. Women who find themselves developing a
sudden onset of the need to use the restroom – and often find themselves
running to get there, and not always making it in time often are
experiencing urge incontinence.
Overflow incontinence. When a woman is unable to fully empty
her bladder, she may experience frequent or constant dribbling of urine.
Mixed incontinence. This occurs when a woman experiences more
than one type of incontinence, most commonly stress and urge
incontinence. However, the cause of both forms may or may not be
related.
If you suffer from urinary incontinence, don't suffer in silence. With
appropriate medical care, you can significantly improve your quality of
life.
