Incontinence Management
If you're leaking like a faucet..don't be embarrassed, we can help
Incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Sometimes this condition is caused by a disease or infection. This condition can be caused by different factors and should be evaluated by your provider. Stress, urge or mixed incontinence can affect men or women and is often related to pelvic muscle weakness. Having a baby is a common cause of stress incontinence.
