Introduction: Taking Control of Bladder Health

Urinary incontinence—the involuntary leakage of urine—affects millions of women of all ages. While it can be distressing and disruptive, it is not an inevitable part of aging and is often treatable. At Surrey Women’s Clinic, our team specializes in helping women understand the root causes of incontinence and access modern, effective treatments that restore comfort and confidence.

Common Causes of Urinary Incontinence

Understanding what leads to urinary incontinence is key to finding the right treatment. Some of the most common causes include:

• Pelvic Floor Weakness: Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can weaken the pelvic muscles, reducing bladder support.

• Hormonal Changes: Decreased estrogen during menopause may affect bladder and urethral tissues.

• Overactive Bladder: Nerve signals cause sudden, uncontrollable urges to urinate.

• Lifestyle Factors: Excess weight, smoking, and chronic coughing can add pressure to the bladder.

• Medical Conditions: Diabetes, urinary tract infections, or neurological disorders may also contribute.

  
  

Every woman’s situation is unique, which is why a thorough evaluation is the first step toward personalized care.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Urinary incontinence can present in several ways, and recognizing the type is crucial for treatment:

• Stress Incontinence: Leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.

• Urge Incontinence: Sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by leakage.

• Mixed Incontinence: A combination of stress and urge symptoms.

• Overflow Incontinence: Frequent or constant dribbling caused by incomplete bladder emptying.

  
  

If you notice any of these symptoms, early assessment can prevent the condition from worsening and improve your quality of life.

Modern Treatments Available

The good news is that effective treatments are available—many of which are minimally invasive. At Surrey Women’s Clinic, we create a tailored plan that may include:

• Lifestyle & Behavioral Therapies: Pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, bladder training, and dietary modifications.

• Medications: To calm an overactive bladder or improve muscle tone.

• Non-Surgical Therapies: Options such as pessary fittings or advanced pelvic floor physiotherapy.

• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Injections or outpatient treatments to strengthen bladder control.

• Surgical Solutions: For more complex cases, modern surgical techniques can provide long-term relief.

  
  

Our compassionate specialists will guide you through every step, ensuring the approach matches your needs and lifestyle.
