Incontinence can be embarrassing, but it's important that you discuss the issue with your doctor at Florida Hospital Celebration Health. Urinary incontinence is not a disease but a symptom that something else may be going on in your body. It definitely is not just a sign that you're getting older.

There are many causes of urinary incontinence and it's important that your doctor be apprised of your situation so that proper tests can be performed to find the reason behind the incontinence. The type of treatment depends largely on the cause. Treatments can range from reducing your caffeine or alcohol intake to taking medication or undergoing surgery, if the incontinence is ongoing. Physical therapy or incontinence devices are also treatment options.

If you are experiencing incontinence, your doctor at Florida Hospital Celebration Health wants to discuss it with you. It's not something you need to learn to live with for the rest of your life and it is important to determine the source of the incontinence, since it can indicate that you have another disease or disorder that needs attention.
