Bladder control problems are treatable

Women and men both come to the Canton clinic for bladder control: needing to go suddenly, going often, or leaking with a sneeze or on the way to the bathroom. These are separate problems, and the first visit works out which one you have.

What we check

Expect questions about when leaks happen and how much you drink, a urine test, and often an ultrasound to see whether the bladder empties fully. Some people keep a short diary at home.

Options for urgency

Plans often start with fluid timing, fewer bladder irritants and pelvic floor exercises, then medication if needed. Bladder Botox and sacral nerve stimulation (InterStim) are further options offered by Advanced Urology.

Options for stress leakage

For women, a sling procedure is common. After prostate treatment, a man's choices can include a sling made for men or an implanted sphincter cuff. Procedures are done in Marietta, and every option comes with its own risks to weigh.
