Incontinence

Urinary incontinence affects twice as many women as men. This is because pregnancy, childbirth and menopause can all affect the bladder, urethra and the pelvic floor muscles.

Urinary incontinence is more common in older women, most likely due to hormonal changes during menopause, but can happen at any age.

There are a number of tests involved in the assessment of urinary incontinence including a urine test, ultrasound, cystoscopy and urodynamics. Upon diagnosis, Dr Gomez will work with you to create a suitable treatment plan, including things you can do at home to help treat the condition. Bladder training and exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles can sometimes improve the symptoms.
