Opening times
The continence clinic runs every Monday.
The continence clinic diagnoses and treats patients with any of the following conditions:
- stress urinary incontinence
when you leak urine on activity, coughing, sneezing, laughing and/or lifting - urgency
when your bladder is overactive and you need to rush to the toilet many times a day - urge incontinence
when you feel an urge to urinate and leak before you can reach a toilet - mixed incontinence
a combination of the above
These are commonly caused by damage to the pelvic floor eg by childbirth or being overweight.
Treatments may include physiotherapy to strengthen your pelvic floor and / or changes to your lifestyle eg losing weight, changing your diet or stopping smoking.
In some cases you may be offered surgery to repair your pelvic floor.
