Urinary Incontinence
Most women with urinary incontinence suffer in silence, believing the
condition to be a normal part of aging. But, it isn’t. Urinary incontinence
is linked to childbirth, and menopause, and can also be caused by stress,
urinary tract infections, pelvic injuries, and even by certain medications.
It’s a more common condition than many women think, affecting 5 to 10% of
all women, and nearly one in four women over 65. Female incontinence is
highly treatable. More than half of all cases can be treated non-surgically.
Urogynecology Surgery and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
Problems with pelvic floor support are often called prolapse. Common
names are cystocele, rectocele or uterine prolapse. If a prolapse becomes
large or occurs after a prior operation, you many need a special procedure
for effective repair. Urinary, fecal and sexual function needs consideration
when designing the repair in more complicated prolapses.
Our team has experience in successfully managing these complicated
conditions.
Trained therapists are able to teach pelvic floor exercises to help women
with incontinence and pelvic organ issues, tailoring exercise to individual
needs.
We have pelvic floor rehabilitation specialists right here at Aurora
BayCare Medical Center in Green Bay. These specialists in pelvic floor
rehabilitation focus on treatments to strengthen muscles to support the
pelvic organs. Generally treatment will begin with least invasive option,
such as information on diet and personal care, and increase until results
are achieved.
Lindi Magnuson, P.T., BCIA-PMD, certified in biofeedback for pelvic
muscle dysfunction,
talks about how she uses biofeedback to effectively treat patients
with urinary incontinence.
