UroCare at St. Francis



Did you know that 1 in 4 women ages 30 - 59 experience urinary incontinence? Almost 50% of all women will experience urinary incontinence during their lifetime, and 8 - 10 million women are currently coping with incontinence issues (mostly mild to moderate in severity).
 
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control and is a common problem for women of all ages. It is a symptom that something else is happening in your body that could be a serious medical problem. The more you understand how your bladder works, the better you will be able to control your incontinence. Most cases of urinary incontinence can be treated successfully, and the earlier you seek intervention and medical attention, the better the cure rate.
