Take Control of Your Bladder

Many women wait years before seeing their doctors about bladder control problems. You don't need to keep those problems a secret - whether you "leak a bit" when you sneeze or you wear pads "just in case." Sanford Women's is here to take care of your bladder health now.

Bladder control problems are very common. In fact, as many as 7 in 10 women experience involuntary loss of urine.

While bladder control issues can be a part of aging or the result of having babies, they should not be ignored. Sanford Women's urogynecology specialists can help improve your condition and your quality of life.

Besides bladder control issues, we treat pelvic prolapse, bowel incontinence, genitourinary syndrome of menopause and other conditions.

Our services include:

  • Surgical options for pelvic organ prolapse
  • Medical and surgical options for urinary incontinence
  • Sacral neuromodulation
  • Bladder Botox
  • Pelvic muscle injections for pain
  • Incontinence testing
  • Anal ultrasound
  • Pelvic muscle nerve testing

Your treatment can include lifestyle changes, physical therapy and minimally invasive surgery.
