Urinary Incontinence \/ Pelvic Floor Therapy<\/strong><\/p><\/h1><\/div> Urinary incontinence occurs when you accidentally lose control of your bladder and leak urine. You can temporarily develop urinary incontinence when you have a urinary tract infection or from some foods, beverages, and medications.<\/p>\n However, when urinary incontinence is persistent, there may be a problem in the nerves that control your bladder or your pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and control the flow of urine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Please contact office for appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> (305) 665-8188<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Please contact office for appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> (305) 665-8188<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> You may have one or a combination of the three primary types of urinary incontinence:<\/span><\/p>\n Urine leaks when pressure is placed on your bladder, usually due to coughing, laughing, and sneezing. Stress incontinence also occurs when you lift a heavy object.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have this type of incontinence, you experience frequent and powerful urges to urinate that makes it difficult to get to the bathroom in time.<\/span><\/p>\n When your bladder doesn\u2019t empty properly, it can quickly get too full, forcing urine to leak out even when you don\u2019t feel like you need to use the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Although medications, urethral inserts, pessaries, and surgical intervention are all possible treatments for urinary incontinence, Dr. Starke helps 70-80% of women overcome the problem with pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation (PFMR).<\/span><\/p>\n Like other muscles in your body, you can strengthen and retrain your pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and control the flow of urine.<\/span><\/p>\n PFMR is especially beneficial for stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Other health conditions that improve from PFMR include:<\/span><\/p>\n PFMR combines treatment in the office with home exercises. Pelvic floor stimulation is done in the office using a vaginal or rectal sensor to deliver a mild electrical current that contracts the pelvic floor muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019ll have one session weekly for about 6-8 sessions. Most women notice an improvement after the first 3-4 sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t continue to suffer from urinary incontinence when effective treatment is available: Call Dr. Starke or use online booking to schedule an appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Our Services<\/p><\/h2><\/div>What causes urinary incontinence?<\/span><\/h2>\n
