Urinary & Bowel Incontinence
Urinary incontinence and bowel incontinence affect millions of women, impacting their confidence, daily life, and overall wellbeing. Many women avoid social activities, exercise, and daily routines due to fear and embarrassment. However, with specialist pelvic health care, these conditions can be managed and even resolved through tailored incontinence treatments and pelvic floor rehabilitation.
What We Treat: Urinary and Bowel Incontinence in Women
Urinary and bowel incontinence in women can significantly disrupt daily life and overall quality of life.
Understanding the different types and causes of these conditions is crucial for effective pelvic health treatment. At our clinic, we focus on addressing incontinence challenges, such as leakage during physical activities and sudden urges that interrupt your routine. By identifying the causes—like pregnancy, hormonal changes, or pelvic floor dysfunction—we tailor our treatments to restore your confidence and improve your quality of life.
Here are the primary areas we focus on:
Urinary Incontinence:
- stress incontinence: leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising, often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles following childbirth
- urge incontinence: a sudden, intense need to urinate, often leading to frequent trips to the toilet and potential accidents
Bowel Incontinence:
- urgency incontinence: an overwhelming urge to pass a bowel movement with little warning, commonly caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles or nerve dysfunction
- passive incontinence: leakage without the sensation of needing to go, often due to decreased rectal sensation or muscle dysfunction
Common Causes of Incontinence in Women:
- pregnancy and childbirth
- menopausal hormonal changes
- chronic constipation
- pelvic surgery (e.g. hysterectomy)
- neurological conditions (e.g. multiple sclerosis, stroke)
