Urinary incontinence, or the involuntary loss of urinary control, affects 13 million people of all ages and genders. It is often temporary and always results from an underlying medical condition. Approximately four out of every 100 Americans experience symptoms of incontinence.
SWomen and older adults are most at risk of developing some form of incontinence. Often, people are too embarrassed to seek help, think it is a normal part of aging, or are unaware that help is available.
Symptoms range from frequent and urgent urination to difficulty emptying the bladder and urinary leakage. Fear of accidents can prevent individuals from participating in activities and significantly impact their quality of life.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when weakened pelvic muscles and tissues can no longer fully support organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, causing them to shift or bulge. It’s common in women as the age, those who have had multiple pregnancies, or undergone pelvic surgery.
Symptoms may include pelvic pressure, a feeling of heaviness or “dropping,” urinary or bowel changes, and discomfort during daily activities or intimacy.
Treatment options range from lifestyle and exercise changes, to pelvic floor physical therapy, implantable devices, and surgical procedures designed to restore support, relieve symptoms, and address related issues like incontinence.
