Bladder & Bowel Institute Specializes in the Treatment of Bladder and Bowel Control Problems
You Are Not Alone
When you consider patients of all ages, 1 in 6 have overactive bladder. Not only is it common, but it becomes more common as you age. By the age of 65, 1 in 3 patients are suffering from overactive bladder. In fact, more people have overactive bladder than have asthma or diabetes!
Types of Incontinence
Not all bladder control problems are the same. There are two common types that we treat, stress incontinence and overactive bladder (OAB). Learn more about the different kinds of incontinence and how treatment differs for each one.
Overactive Bladder
The most common bladder control problem we treat is an overactive bladder. Unlike stress incontinence, OAB has little to do with a loss of support. Learn more about overactive bladder symptoms, causes, and treatments and how our doctors at Bladder & Bowel Institute can help you today.
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress incontinence is leaking when you sneeze, cough, laugh, or do some type of physical activity like exercising, lifting, or climbing stairs. It’s usually caused by weakened or damaged pelvic floor muscles that create a loss of support for the bladder. Learn more about stress urinary incontinence and how our doctors at Bladder & Bowel Institute can help.
Fecal Incontinence
About 25% of the patients we see for bladder control problems also suffer from bowel control problems. Some of them have accidents because they can’t make it in time, and some because they don’t even know they had to go. An inability to control your bowels can lead to embarrassment, depression, and a lower quality of life. Learn more about the symptoms and treatment options for fecal incontinence and how InterStim® Therapy could help.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Men)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate gland enlargement, is a common condition as men get older. It can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It can also lead to bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. At Bladder & Bowel Institute, our team of specialized professionals, including urologists, are dedicated to determining if BPH or overactive bladder (OAB) are causing your bladder control problems.
