Urinary incontinence
Up to 11 million women suffer from incontinence in the U.S. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, incontinence is most common in women over age 64. However, 1 in 4 women between ages 30 and 59 have experienced urinary leakage. Many women never receive treatment because they are embarrassed to discuss the problem with their physician. There are medical and surgical treatments to help relieve this problem. Dr. Ian Stormont, Urologist, is happy to discuss these options with patients so they understand they do not need to live with this uncomfortable issue.
Perimenopause/menopause
Women who experience anxiety, depression, mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia, irregular cycles and abnormal bleeding may be at a stage in life when they require medical attention to alleviate these symptoms. Our providers can assist patients through these difficult issues.
