 Women's Continence Center A bladder control problem takes control of your life. Rather than finding the nearest bike path, or the best route to your next appointment, enjoying a walk on the beach, or a golf outing life seems to revolve around one thing: THE NEAREST BATHROOM! Sleep is interrupted, and travel becomes difficult, if not impossible. It's not just a physical problem either—it can wreak havoc with you emotional and social life. Activities are curtailed, and depression sets in. Over 20 million people suffer with this condition—and there are just the ones we know about! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Unfortunately, only 1 in 15 sufferers ever consults a doctor. Uninary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine which is enough to be a problem. People refer to this problem as a loss of bladder control, an overactive bladder, a weak bladder. Stress urinary incontinence occurs with laughing, coughing, sneezing, bending, exercising, and lifting heavy objects. Many women experience this for 6-12 months after childbirth. With menopause, the lack of estrogen and pelvic organ prolapse affect middle age women. Urge urinary incontinence or "Oactive Bladder": occurs with strong urges to urinate, frequent urination, and small amounts of urine loss on the way to the bathroom. Common triggers: running water, seeing a toilet, "key in the door", rainy, cold weather, or rushing to the bathroom and not reaching a toilet in time. Mixed urinary incontinence occurs when there is a combination of stress and urge incontinence. We are dedicated to making your incontinence a thing of the past, and having you get back control over your life.
