Loss of bladder control, also known as urinary incontinence, is a problem that affects many older people – but it is not necessarily a normal consequence of aging. Other conditions associated with the various forms and degrees of urinary incontinence include pregnancy, urinary tract infection, neurological issues and bladder stones. Dr. Wallen has helped many patients to regain their bladder control – along with their confidence and comfort. He strongly encourages anyone who is having difficulty controlling their bladder to come in for an evaluation. In most cases, patients are able to quickly resolve or significantly improve their ability to manage their urinary issues through strategies and treatments he recommends.

Depending on the cause and type of your urinary incontinence, the following treatment options may be pursued.

  • Behavioral therapy/ “bladder training”

  • Dietary changes
  • Medical devices (urethral insert, pessary)
