Urinary incontinence affects twice as many women as men and becomes more common as you get older. The different types of incontinence include:<\/p>\n
Stress<\/strong>
\nYou leak urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or heavy lifting exerts pressure on your bladder.<\/p>\nUrge<\/strong>
\nUrge incontinence results from other medical conditions, including infections, neurologic disorders or diabetes. Urge incontinence causes you to have a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine, as well as the need to urinate often, including throughout the night.<\/p>\nOverflow<\/strong>
\nYour bladder doesn\u2019t empty completely, causing you to experience frequent or constant dribbling of urine.<\/p>\nFunctional<\/strong>
\nSevere arthritis or another physical or mental impairment prevents you from making it to the bathroom in time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>How is incontinence diagnosed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe doctors at My OB\/GYN Specialists use urodynamic testing to diagnose incontinence. The different types of urodynamic testing are:<\/p>\n
\n- Uroflowmetry: measures the speed and volume of urine<\/li>\n
- Postvoid residual measurement: measures the amount of urine left in your bladder after you go<\/li>\n
- Cytometric test: monitors the pressure build-up in your bladder as it fills with urine, the amount of urine your bladder holds, and when you feel the urge to urinate<\/li>\n
- Leak point pressure measurement: used during a cytometric test to measure the pressure at your leakage point<\/li>\n
- Pressure flow study: measures the pressure your bladder needs to urinate and the flow rate specific pressure generates.<\/li>\n
- Electromyography: sensors that measure the electrical activity of the muscles and nerves in and around your bladder and sphincters during cystometric testing<\/li>\n
- Video urodynamic tests: combine cystometry, uroflowmetry, and cystography into a single exam using X-rays or ultrasound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is incontinence treated?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>The doctors at My OB\/GYN Specialists treat incontinence in several ways, including:
\nPelvic floor rehabilitation and therapy.<\/p>\nPelvic floor rehabilitation and therapy can help improve the strength and function of the muscles that support the bladder, urethra and other organs within the pelvis. Pelvic floor therapy techniques can help relax and lengthen tight muscles and release trigger points to help incontinence patients, who mainly need to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.<\/p>\n
Also known as Kegel exercises, pelvic floor rehabilitation helps to strengthen the muscles that control urination.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
