Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence – the loss of bladder control – affects more than 15 million Americans. It's an all-too-common side effect of childbirth, surgery and aging. Physicians at the Urology Institute use a number of sophisticated tests to determine the cause of incontinence as well as leading-edge treatments to correct the problem.
In some cases, biofeedback and behavior modification can help patients overcome incontinence. One technique available through the Institute uses electrical nerve stimulation to control the bladder.
And, if necessary, surgical intervention can provide relief. Our urologists perform a full range of procedures – some developed at The Methodist Hospital – including collagen injection therapy, endoscopic bladder neck suspensionsand the creation of artificial urinary sphincters.
