Our practice specializes in the assessment and management of men and women with urinary incontinence using a multidisciplinary approach that utilises the skills of Urologists, Continence Nurse Specialists as well as specialized Continence Physiotherapists. The good news is that almost all people with this very common and debilitating problem can be helped. It is important to remember though that no one need suffer in silence, and that there is much that can be done to treat incontinence. The problem of urinary incontinence is extremely common. People suffering from incontinence bear additional heavy costs due to the use of protection devices such as incontinence pads to help deal with the problem. The effects of incontinence are many, including severe embarrassment, restriction in daily activities and social life as well as limiting the ability to work and travel. Whilst not a life-threatening condition, it can have an enormous impact on an individual’s life with a profound loss of quality of life.
In real terms, it is a bladder that ends up controlling your life, and can result in living in continual fear of urine leakage. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine.
