One of the more common problems that women come to see us for is stress urinary incontinence.
And this is leakage of urine that happens with physical activity, coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, exercise, and can be a real detriment to our quality of life. The treatment options for this range from non surgical options like pelvic floor muscle strengthening, either with a home based program or under the guidance of our pelvic floor physical therapists, as well as vaginal inserts, some of which are available over the counter and some of which we can help fit them for here in the clinic. And then there are procedural options such as urethral bulking injections, which is very minimally invasive, and then an outpatient surgical procedure called a midurethral sling.
