Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. There are two main types:

• Stress incontinence: Leakage during sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercise.
• Urge incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by leakage.
• Mixed incontinence: A combination of both.

The severity of bladder incontinence can range from mild to severe and may interfere with daily life. If you're experiencing symptoms, we encourage you to seek care — effective treatments are available.

Also known as fecal incontinence, this is the loss of control over gas or stool. It can cause anxiety and lead to avoiding social activities. Treatment options are available to restore control and confidence.

This condition occurs when pelvic organs — such as the bladder, uterus or rectum — drop down into or outside the vagina due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Common symptoms include:

• A sensation of pressure or a bulge at the vaginal opening
• Difficulty urinating or incomplete bladder emptying
• Bowel issues such as straining or feeling incomplete evacuation

If you're concerned about prolapse, a detailed pelvic exam and consultation with a urogynecologist can provide answers and treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical.

Pain during intercourse can result from vaginal dryness, pelvic muscle tension, scarring, or nerve issues. These symptoms are treatable and deserve attention and care.

Women with this condition experience pelvic pain, frequent urination, and bladder pressure — often without an infection. Diagnosis and treatment can provide lasting relief.

Recurring urinary tract infections, particularly in postmenopausal women, can significantly disrupt life. Hormonal changes and anatomical factors often play a role.
