Incontinence Treatment Options
Dionysios Veronikis, MD, Urogynecologic Surgeon
Register Now

  • Saturday, September 6, 8:30 – 10 am, David C. Pratt Cancer Center, Main Conference Room
  • Free – registration is required. Call 314.467.3863.

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control – the inability to predict when and where it will happen. Many mistakenly believe that nothing can be done to correct it - incontinence can lead to frustration, inactivity, isolation and depression – and embarrassment often prevents people from seeking help. Dr. Veronikis presents information and explains successful treatment options in a comfortable, informative and low-key setting. During the session, you will learn:

  • Types and causes of incontinence
  • Range of treatment options, including physical therapy, medication and surgery.
  • Opportunity to ask questions
