Urinary incontinence – or “bladder leaks” – is an embarrassing problem that can affect women of all ages. Incontinence typically becomes more common after childbirth, or post-menopause. As many as one out of three women experience bladder leakage when they laugh, sneeze, cough or workout.
Fortunately, new, advanced, minimally-invasive treatments are available that can minimize or eliminate urinary incontinence. At Contemporary Obstetrics & Gynecology, we offer both state-of-the-art non-surgical MonaLisa Touch laser treatments and Interstim neuromodulation therapy – to reduce or abolish certain types of urinary incontinence.
Our OBGYNs can also prescribe medications, topical estrogen, and pelvic floor therapy to treat urinary incontinence noninvasively. For more severe urinary incontinence, where surgery is the better option, our board certified surgeons offer less invasive laparoscopic & robotic surgery. In some cases, urethral bulking collagen injections may be used to build up the thickness of the wall of the urethra, so it seals tightly when holding back urine.
Women do not need to suffer in silence with frustrating urinary incontinence. Contact Contemporary Obstetrics & Gynecology today and get relief from the inconvenience and embarrassment of bladder leaks.
Urinary Incontinence Treatments
MonaLisa Touch
Laser Therapy
MonaLisa Touch is a painless, in-office laser treatment that delivers CO2 heat energy to the walls of the vagina, with a slender wand. It is a new, highly effective, treatment for stress urinary incontinence – as well as vaginal dryness and atrophy, in addition to painful sex.
Minimally Invasive
Surgery
When non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgery may be the best option to treat urinary incontinence. We offer minimally-invasive robotic & laparoscopic surgery – which means smaller incisions and faster recovery – including single incision mid urethral slings.
