Urinary Incontinence

About Urinary Incontinence

If you find yourself barely making it to the bathroom in time or leaking whenever you cough sneeze, you’re not alone.

There are several types of incontinence: stress incontinence is caused by weak muscles in the pelvic floor or a weak sphincter muscle at the neck of the bladder. This weakness causes the bladder or bowels to leak during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing or any body movement that puts pressure on the bladder. In women, stress incontinence is often caused by physical changes in the body, including pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

As the name suggests, urge incontinence is when you get a sudden, intense urge to urinate and sometimes it leaks before you can reach the restroom. Urge incontinence may be caused by a minor condition, such as infection, or a more severe condition such as a neurologic disorder or diabetes.

Many people have symptoms of both stress incontinence and urge incontinence.

At Forum Health, we have a variety of methods to successfully urinary incontinence — so you can go back to a normal, functional life, without worry.

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
