Is my urinary incontinence problem permanent?
Some women can develop incontinence after child birth. It can be related to a weakening of the urethral muscles and the sphincter that holds urine in the bladder. This is called stress incontinence. It can be treated with physical therapy or there are some minimally invasive procedures that can treat the condition. Some women can also develop overactive bladder, which are muscle spasms of the bladder causing incontinence. This can be treated with changes in fluid intake and medications. If the symptoms persist for greater than 8 months after childbirth, you could see a urologist who could help you with figuring out the source of the incontinence and develop a treatment plan for you Best regards John Stoffel, MD READ MORE
