Dr. Bob Achila TV interview on urine incontinence
Urine incontinence means involuntary leakage of urine. This is an embarrassing yet common medical condition that can have many causes. It can have a devastating impact on work, school, relationships, and social life. Sadly, in the past, many have considered leakage of urine as a normal part of getting older.
Evaluation by the doctor will involve us taking a detailed history and doing a clinical examination. It might be necessary for us to do additional investigations (such as laboratory tests, imaging, endoscopy, and/or urodynamic studies) to understand the cause of the incontinence fully. The good news is that there are now many highly effective treatment options available for women with leakage of urine. Let us begin the journey to complete restoration together.
