“Urinary incontinence is a common and distressing problem for women of all ages. Most causes of incontinence are treatable with lifestyle changes, exercise, medication or surgery. The key to proper treatment is proper diagnosis of the type of incontinence,” said Kearing. “My talk will cover the common forms of female urinary incontinence, assessments for this condition and the various treatment options available.”
