Restoring Bladder Control and Quality of Life

At Navjeevan Hospital, we understand the impact that urinary incontinence can have on a person’s quality of life. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals specializes in comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans to address urinary incontinence effectively and restore bladder control.

Understanding Urinary Incontinence:

Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine, which can occur due to various factors such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, hormonal changes, medications, medical conditions, or lifestyle habits. It can manifest in different forms, including stress incontinence (leakage during physical activities), urge incontinence (sudden, strong urges to urinate), overflow incontinence (incomplete bladder emptying), or mixed incontinence (combination of types).

Signs and Symptoms of Urinary Incontinence:

  • Frequent urination
  • Sudden urges to urinate
  • Leakage during coughing, sneezing, or physical exertion
  • Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
  • Nocturia (frequent urination at night)
  • Urinary urgency or hesitancy
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to incomplete emptying

Importance of Incontinence Evaluation:

Importance of Incontinence Evaluation:

An incontinence evaluation is essential to determine the underlying causes, severity, and type of urinary incontinence, as well as to develop an appropriate treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs. The evaluation process may include:

  • Medical History: Detailed discussions about symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle factors, and bladder habits help identify potential triggers or contributing factors.
  • Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination, including pelvic floor assessment, neurological evaluation, and abdominal examination, helps assess muscle tone, reflexes, and organ function.
  • Diagnostic Tests: Depending on the suspected causes of incontinence, diagnostic tests such as urinalysis, urine culture, cystoscopy, urodynamic testing, ultrasound, or MRI may be conducted to gather additional information.
  • Bladder Diary: Keeping a bladder diary to track fluid intake, urination frequency, leakage episodes, and associated factors can provide valuable insights into bladder function and patterns.

Comprehensive Treatment Options:

Once the incontinence evaluation is complete, our healthcare team develops personalized treatment plans based on the individual’s diagnosis, symptoms, preferences, and goals. Treatment options may include:

  • Behavioral Strategies: Lifestyle modifications, bladder training, pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), dietary changes, fluid management, and toileting schedules can improve bladder control and reduce incontinence episodes.
  • Medications: Depending on the type and severity of incontinence, medications such as anticholinergics, beta-3 agonists, alpha-blockers, or hormone therapy may be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve bladder function.
  • Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Pelvic floor physical therapy, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and vaginal devices (pessaries) can strengthen pelvic muscles, improve coordination, and enhance bladder support.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: For refractory cases or specific types of incontinence, minimally invasive procedures such as Botox injections, bulking agents, nerve stimulation (sacral neuromodulation), or laser therapy may be considered to address underlying issues.
  • Surgical Interventions: In severe or complex cases of incontinence, surgical options such as sling procedures, bladder suspension (urethropexy), artificial urinary sphincter implantation, or bladder augmentation may be recommended to restore bladder control and quality of life.
