Women who have urinary incontinence may leak urine often. They may have to wear a pad to keep from wetting their clothes. Some women with incontinence feel such a strong desire to urinate that they cannot control it.
A woman with urinary incontinence may also have other symptoms:
- Urgency – A strong desire to urinate, whether or not the bladder is full. This often occurs along with pelvic discomfort or pressure, as well as fear of leakage or fear of pain
- Frequency – Urinating more than every 2 hours or more than 7 times per day.
- Nocturia – The need to urinate 2 or more times during hours of sleep
- Dysuria – Painful urination
- Enuresis – Bed-wetting or wetting while sleeping
The doctors at DC&G ObGyn are specially trained to evaluate and treat women with urinary incontinence. Treatment may involve medications, behavior modification, physical therapy, special devices or surgery.
