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
