When Incontinence Disrupts Your Life: Here’s What to Do About It

Incontinence Disrupts Life

Urinary incontinence affects millions of Americans and can be a frustrating and isolating condition. Whether it’s occasional leaks or a more constant issue, incontinence can interfere with your work, social life, and overall sense of well-being.

At Spinal Diagnostics, we understand how disruptive incontinence can be — and we want you to know that effective, compassionate care is available.

Types of urinary incontinence

Not all incontinence is the same. Understanding the type you’re dealing with can help determine the right treatment. Common types include:

  • Stress incontinence: Leaks occur when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise.
  • Urge incontinence: A sudden, strong urge to urinate followed by leakage.
  • Overflow incontinence: Your bladder doesn’t empty completely, causing dribbling.
  • Functional incontinence: Physical or cognitive impairments prevent getting to the bathroom in time.

You’re not alone — and there are solutions

It’s important to know that incontinence is not something you have to “just live with.” There are many ways to regain control, including:

  • Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels)
  • Bladder training techniques
  • Medications that calm overactive bladder muscles
  • Minimally invasive procedures or devices
  • Advanced options like neuromodulation for severe cases

Our team works closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs, lifestyle, and goals.
