Female IncontinenceUrge Incontinence, urinary urgency, urinary frequency
Urinary urge incontinence involves a strong, sudden need to urinate, followed by a bladder contraction, which results in leakage. Frequent urination means needing to urinate more often than usual. Urinary urgency is a sudden, compelling urge to urinate sometimes resulting in urge incontinence. These conditions affect both women and men. There are several different treatment modalities to address urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence.
Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine that occurs during physical activity, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. This type of incontinence has several different treatment options and interventions for both women and men. Men, too, can develop stress incontinence after prostate surgery (see Male Incontinence).

There are many different treatments for conditions affecting urinary flow rates. Drs Adey and Hodroff utilize the latest technology in medical and surgical treatments. The latest treatment for blockage at the level of the prostate uses laser energy to remove the prostate tissue. The results are outstanding and side effects are minimal.
