Incontinence

Urinary incontinence happens when urine leaks with sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra. The abrupt pressure causes the sphincter muscles to open briefly and typically occurs because the pelvic floor muscles and other tissues that support this area become weak. The weakness can cause accidents that range from a few drops of urine to enough to soak through your clothes. Urinary incontinence can cause:

• Sleep loss, sleep deprivation
• Depression/anxiety
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Loss of productivity at work
• Sexual problems
• Risk of falls for elderly (rushing to the bathroom)

SF Bay Cosmetic Surgery Medical Group offers various treatments to rehabilitate weak pelvic muscles.
