What It Is and Why It Happens
Urinary incontinence is any unwanted leakage of urine, and it comes in two main types. Stress incontinence is leaking with pressure — coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, lifting — usually from a pelvic floor that is weak, uncoordinated or overly tight. Urge incontinence is a sudden, hard-to-defer need to go, often with leakage before you reach the toilet, and is driven by the bladder and its nerve signals. Many people have both.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is recommended as first-line treatment by urology and gynaecology guidelines worldwide, before medication or surgery, and it resolves or substantially improves most stress incontinence.
Bladder Problems We Treat
Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:
- Stress incontinence (leaking with cough, sneeze, jump, lift)
- Urge incontinence and overactive bladder
- Mixed incontinence
- Postpartum incontinence
- Incontinence with menopause
- Post-prostatectomy incontinence in men
- Frequent urination and nocturia
- Leaking during running and high-impact exercise
How We Treat Incontinence
Assessment includes a detailed bladder and symptom history, a bladder diary where useful, and — with your consent — an internal pelvic floor assessment to determine whether the muscles are weak, tight, poorly coordinated or all three, since the treatment differs. The program combines individually cued pelvic floor training (correctly, which most people are not doing), bladder retraining and urge-control strategies, breathing and pressure management for lifting and impact, and treatment of any overactive or painful muscles. Progress is tracked with objective measures.
Internal assessment is optional and always explained first; external assessment and treatment are available. See also prolapse and diastasis recti.
