Which type of medical doctor should a woman see for her incontinence issues?

Author: Dr. Berger

Women who are bothered by incontinence issues are sometimes unsure what specialist they should see to address their condition. Should they see their gynecologist? A urologist? Someone else? Which one is best-trained to properly and promptly address your incontinence issues?

Yes, some gynecologists do limited incontinence work. And urogynecologists — specialists in gynecology work that deals with incontinence — focus only on incontinence issues. But your best choice is actually a urologist.

Urologists know more about the bladder than gynecologists and urogynecologists and we deal with more bladder conditions across the spectrum than they do. In fact, in most cases, it was urologists who developed the procedures that we use today to solve most incontinence issues.

The urologists at Urology Specialists of the Lehigh Valley deal with all conditions involving the bladder and surgery of the bladder. We are extremely experienced in helping women curb their incontinence … whether it be stress incontinence, urge incontinence or incontinence caused by a neurological condition.

And, of course, we treat men with continence issues, as well.
