Urologist for Urinary Incontinence in Females

What Causes Urinary Incontinence in Females?

Urinary incontinence is a problem that can affect women of all ages. While many associated this condition with older women, it can affect women who are middle-aged and even women in their 20s and 30s. It is also important to remember that urinary incontinence can be short term or long terms, as there are various causes. If you suffer from urinary incontinence, there is little doubt that you will find yourself in various awkward and difficult situations. This is a problem that can cause a lot of stress for women as well as embarrassment.

Some of the causes of this problem

If you do suffer from urinary incontinence, it is well worth arranging an appointment with your urologist. The underlying cause of the problem can then be looked into and appropriate treatment can be administered or arranged. Some of the possible causes of this problem include:

What you drink: There are various drinks and foods that can have diuretic effects and can cause you to become incontinent temporarily. Of course, this temporary incontinence is not something you will need to have treatment for. However, it is advisable to be careful about what you are consuming if you want to avoid being in this situation.
UTIs: Another possible cause of temporary urinary incontinence is a UTI or urinary tract infection. These infections can result in all sorts of undesirable effects such as pain when you urinate, burning and itching, and temporary urinary incontinence which can continue until the infection is cleared up. If you do think you may have a UTI, you should see your urologist so that a diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment given.
Procedures and conditions: There are various procedures and conditions that can result in the onset of urinary incontinence. However, this tends to be long term incontinence rather than the short term variation outlined above. Some of the possible causes of longer term incontinence include menopause, neurological problems, various forms of cancer, and obstructions. In addition, procedures such as hysterectomies can result in incontinence over the long term.

Seeking help from a professional

Whether you have short term incontinence due to a UTI or whether you are suffering from long term urinary incontinence, it is important to seek help and treatment from a professional. You can do this by getting in touch with the best urologist in Manhattan.
