November is Bladder Health Month

November is Bladder Health Month and at Progressive Women’s Healthcare we encourage good bladder health. We have every patient complete a bladder screening form to identify those with common conditions such as Overactive Bladder and Stress Urinary Incontinence. Both conditions now can be treated without surgery or medication. For 3 years now we have been using medical devices from Incontrol medical to cure our patients. The company has a variety of different devices depending on what your condition is. At your visit, the bladder questionnaire will be reviewed along with your health history to see if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Sometimes we prefer you undergo bladder testing called Urodynamic Testing. This allows us to get a better idea of what is going on with your bladder, determine the severity of the problem, and pick the right treatment for you the first time. At Progressive Women’s Healthcare we want to help cure the problem , not just cover it up with pads or medication!
