Bladder Concerns

What are Bladder Concerns?

Bladder concerns refer to any condition that affects urinary function, leading to discomfort, inconvenience, or health risks. These can include frequent urination, loss of urine, or painful urination. Various factors such as infections, hormonal changes, neurological conditions, or pelvic floor disorders can contribute to these issues. Addressing bladder concerns early can improve your quality of life and prevent further complications.

Frequent Urination

Frequent urination can be disruptive and may indicate an underlying health issue. If you find yourself needing to urinate more often than usual, especially if it interferes with your daily activities or sleep, it may be due to causes such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), overactive bladder, diabetes, or bladder irritation. Our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the root cause and provides effective treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments, medication, or specialized therapies.

Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, or the involuntary loss of bladder control, can range from mild leaks to complete loss of control. This condition can be caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, infections, or hormonal changes. We offer a variety of treatment options, including pelvic floor therapy, medication, and minimally invasive procedures to help restore bladder control and improve your confidence and comfort.

Painful Urination

Painful urination, also known as dysuria, can be a sign of infection, inflammation, or other medical conditions. Common causes include UTIs, bladder infections, kidney stones, or interstitial cystitis. Our providers can identify the cause of your discomfort and develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate pain and prevent recurring issues.
