Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence (unintentional loss of urine) affects 13 million Americans – 11 million of them are women. Today, there are more treatments for incontinence than ever before, yet only one-third of women who are incontinent seek treatment.
Factors that increase the chance of incontinence include age, obesity, chronic constipation, smoking, pregnancy, and vaginal delivery. It often becomes more troublesome after menopause. The most frequent form of urinary incontinence is stress incontinence – leaking caused by increased abdominal pressure when a woman coughs, sneezes, laughs, or does activities like dancing, jumping, or riding a horse.
Pelvic Health
Pelvic health is not only an important component of a woman’s health during her reproductive years, but throughout her lifetime. Midlife and beyond is precisely the time in life when a woman is at higher risk for cancers of the reproductive system and other gynecological problems such as uterine prolapse, fibroids, and endometriosis.
Symptoms of pelvic problems can include pelvic pressure, discomfort or pain, lower back pain, or involuntary loss of urine or bowel contents. Effective diagnosis and treatment begins with a conversation. At Aspirus Women’s Health, we understand the difficulty of discussing these sometimes embarrassing symptoms.
