Healthy Women Community Talks: Bladder Control

press release:

Healthy Women Community Talks:  Bladder Control, A common and treatable concern for Women

Most women experience bladder control issues – yet very few seek help. Why? Because many think peeing a little when they laugh or frequent trips to the bathroom at night are inevitable side effects of aging. These and other forms of urinary incontinence are very common and not something we need to live with! Join Dr. Christine Heisler, UW Health urogynecologist, who will explain why urinary incontinence occurs and offer over twenty ways to manage or treat symptoms.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• What causes urinary incontinence?

• How can I manage symptoms on my own?

• At what point should I see a doctor?

• How can I help a loved one with her bladder control issues?

• Which treatment options really work?

• Is surgery the best choice?

Dr. Christine Heisler is a UW Health urogynecologist with extensive experience caring for women of all ages. She is particularly skilled at managing pelvic floor disorders including bladder and bowel incontinence and organ prolapse and helping women improve the quality of their lives.
