Women sometimes suffer from symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency caused by bladder spasm. This can result in discomfort and incontinence. It often responds well to medicine. Ask your provider to evaluate this if you are having symptoms.
Stress incontinence is marked by urine loss that occurs with activities such as coughing, sneezing, jumping, exercising, and even just walking. It can be very disruptive to people affected. There are revolutionary new ways to correct this. Outpatient procedures such as TVT (Tension free vaginal tape) are available that offer excellent long term solutions to this problem. The physicians at Carteret Ob/Gyn are experienced in this procedure. Some preliminary testing may be done in the office as part of the evaluation.
This is an outpatient procedure that has revolutionized the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. It has proven long term results and is performed quickly and with much less pain than previous incontinence surgeries. Carteret Ob/Gyn physicians perform these procedures regularly.
