Urinary Incontinence

What Is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence—the involuntary leakage of urine—is a common condition that can significantly impact quality of life. It encompasses various types, including stress incontinence (leakage during physical activities), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urge to urinate), and overflow incontinence (incomplete bladder emptying leading to dribbling). At Nurture Women’s Health, we offer comprehensive evaluations to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. Our personalized treatment plans may include pelvic floor muscle training, medications, lifestyle modifications, or minimally invasive procedures, all aimed at restoring bladder control and improving your well-being.
