Emily Lukacz, M.D., M.A.S. presents research from two national networks focused on female pelvic floor disorders. One project studies bladder health in over 3,000 women to identify factors that support wellness rather than disease. Another conducts large-scale clinical trials, including a randomized study comparing two minimally invasive treatments for stress urinary incontinence. Additional trials include the TULIP study, which evaluates postpartum urinary symptom treatments using an app-based device, physical therapy, or educational materials, and a new study testing prescribed physical activity after pelvic surgery. These studies emphasize patient-centered outcomes and generate data available for further research and analysis. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40769]

In this episode, I address the common questions I'm asked about the risk of urinary incontinence following surgery, specifically focusing on hysterectomy, prolapse repairs, and hip replacement. I discuss several key studies, including a 2000meta-analysis by Jeanette Brown and a 2023 paper in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which highlights the significant risks associated with these surgeries. I also provide tips on pelvic floor strengthening and the benefits of different surgical approaches to help minimize incontinence. I discuss how hip replacement surgery can have varying impacts on bladder function and the importance of a holistic view of the body's interconnectedness.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10950229/https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa054208https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24408744/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36300551/Timeline:00:30 Introduction to Urinary Incontinence Risks00:59 Hysterectomy and Urinary Incontinence04:17 Prolapse Repairs and Bladder Leaking06:15 Hip Replacement and Bladder Function08:59 Conclusion and Key Takeaways

Urinary incontinence is one of the most common yet least talked about issues affecting women's health. More than 1 in 3 women will experience an overactive bladder in their lifetime, and by the age of 70, that number jumps significantly. But here's the real question—does aging have to mean bladder issues? Or have we been misled into believing this is just “part of getting older”? In this episode, Shelley Craft sits down with Dr. Kelly Casperson to debunk the myths, break down the science, and—most importantly—explore real, effective solutions to improve bladder health at any age. What You'll Learn in This Episode:
How can we streamline the proper diagnosis and treatment of female urinary incontinence? The solution often lies in bridging comprehensive patient workup to pelvic floor physical therapy.

Send us a textA super important topic on the Menu today! We're talking Urinary Incontinence. Approximately 30-50% of women over the age of 50 experience some form of urinary incontinence, a condition that tends to become more prevalent with age. Our guest, Dr. Briana Walton, aka - the "Vagina Whisperer" brings the facts on this condition. This podcast provides crucial information and can help all, whether you are experiencing this or someone you know - your mother, grandmother, favorite auntie, or whomever. Do kegels still help at our age? And did you know that there are apps to help you locate the nearest bathrooms on-the-go? 'So glad you're here! *************BIO: Briana Walton MD. I have been a specialist in Female Medicine and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery for nearly 20 years.One thing I have learned, being on the giving and receiving end of medicine, is that we are continually changing. I chose this specialty because I enjoyed the spectrum of care provided over a woman's life time. And as I have seen my patients change and have changed myself, it has given me an appreciation for the mind, heart, and soul of a woman. As life evolves; having a baby, going through a divorce or surviving menopause, we begin to make choices about our care and appearance that we would never have considered in the past. Some of these choices are emotional and based on fear or concern about our medical health. However, many decisions we make are due to the natural phenomena that occur in a woman's body. These events push us to consider creating a new version of ourselves to address our intimate wellness. I would be happy and honored to help you ask critical questions, and begin to explore areas where you may not have had the courage to speak up. I have learned that women are hard on themselves and don't take time to take care of ourselves because we are always caring for others. I want to give women an opportunity to address their needs and their desires. At the Center for Feminine Wellness and Surgery, we will take the time to discover what's right for you and how to move forward in your renewal process. It's time for you to take the best care of YOU!https://briwaltonmd.com | https://www.instagram.com/briwaltonmd/ | https://www.instagram.com/thecfws/RESOURCES:https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/urinary-incontinence/urinary-incontinence-in-women. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-a-urogynecologist https://nafc.org/bSupport the showwww.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes www.agelessglamourgirls.com https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls Instagram and Facebook: @agelessglamourgirlsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirlsPrivate (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafeTikTok: @agelessglamourgirlsPodcast Producers: Purple Tulip Media, LLC and WEG Media Group, LLC

Dr. Jessica Gingerich // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic faculty member Jessica Gingerich discusses common challenges in addressing stress urinary incontinence in patients. She highlights three key points that can aid practitioners in understanding and treating this condition effectively. The first point focuses on confirming whether the leakage is indeed urine, with tips on how to differentiate it from sweat or discharge. Dr. Gingerch suggests practical methods for patients to verify the source of the fluid, including using an over-the-counter medication that turns urine bright orange. Once established that the leakage is urine, she emphasizes the importance of detailing when these incidents occur to provide better care.

Episode 177: Urinary Incontinence in Older AdultsFuture Dr. Nguyen explains the evaluation and treatment of older adults with urinary incontinence. Dr. Arreaza adds insights into the conservative management of urinary incontinence.Written by Vy Nguyen, MSIV, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest. Editing and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definition of urinary incontinence. The International Continence Society (ICS) defines it as any involuntary urine leakage. Epidemiology of urinary incontinence. Data analysis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2015 to 2018 shows that more than 60% of adult women which is equivalent to around 78,000,000 females living in the United States experience urinary incontinence with 32.4% reporting symptoms monthly. More data analysis shows the strongest association with urinary incontinence include age greater than 70, prior vaginal delivery, and BMI of 40 or greater. Despite urinary incontinence commonly affecting the senior population, this medical condition can also affect the quality of life of younger adult females and males. On top of that, urinary incontinence is often underestimated due to the low report level for various reasons and the obtained data might not accurately reflect the true prevalent rate. Types and etiology.Urinary incontinence is divided into 5 categories: stress, urge, mixed, overflow, and functional. Stress urinary incontinence has the highest prevalence of 37.5% followed by mixed urinary incontinence at 31.3%, urgency at 22%, and unspecified urinary incontinence at 9.2%. Due to time constraints, we will discuss the most prevalent type which is stress urinary incontinence.In females, stress urinary incontinence is often due to urethral sphincter hypermobility caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles. It can also be caused by dysfunction of the sphincter muscle that is exacerbated by increased intraabdominal pressure from coughing, sneezing, or physical exertion. This type of incontinence is commonly seen in pregnant women, those who experienced childbirth, and young women active in sports. In males, the most common etiology for stress urinary incontinence in males is prostate surgery such as radical prostatectomy which can damage the external urethral sphincter. Another cause is spinal cord injury or disease that can interfere with sphincter function. Evaluation. Urinary incontinence is first evaluated by a thorough history taking that includes inquiries about the type, severity, burden, and duration of incontinence. The initial evaluation includes a voiding diary that can provide clarity and help distinguish between the different types of incontinence or identify the dominating type in the case of mixed incontinence. Examples of voiding diary can be found on the websites of International Urogynecological Association (IUGA). Medical conditions such as COPD and asthma can induce cough; heart failure can cause volume overload; neurological disorders and musculoskeletal conditions can interfere with bladder emptying and urinary retention and thus should also be investigated. It is also helpful to ask about medication and substance use as the adverse effects can directly or indirectly contribute to urinary incontinence. For our female-identifying patients, a gynecological and obstetrical history such as birth history (vaginal versus c-section), current pregnancy as well as low estrogen (menopause) can contribute to reversible urinary incontinence. Management. There are various treatment modalities for stress urinary incontinence ranging from conservative to more invasive surgical management. Conservative treatment: -Initial treatment includes pelvic floor strengthening exercises and bladder training with scheduled void. -Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is very effective, and it is proven to help achieve cure and improve the quality of life in women with ALL types of urinary incontinence. -For stress urinary incontinence, the median cure rate is around 58.8% for women after 12 months and 78.8% for men at 6 months of supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). -Certain behavioral modifications such as fluid intake management (

I have to start with the song. On our last podcast about urinary incontinence the song request was, “Let it go.” This time around several suggestions were raised. Eric suggested, “Even Flow,” by Pearl Jam. Someone else suggested, “Under Pressure,” but we've done it already. We settled on, “Oops…I did it again,” by Britney Spears. In some ways the song title captures part of the issue with urinary incontinence. If only we lived in a world in which much of urinary incontinence was viewed as a natural part of aging, the normal response wasn't embarrassment and shame, but rather an ordinary, “Oops…I did it again.” And if only we lived in a world in which this issue, which affects half of older women and a third of older men, received the research and attention it deserves. We shouldn't have therapeutic nihilism about those who seek treatment, yet urinary incontinence is woefully understudied relative to its frequency and impact, and as we talk about on the podcast, basic questions about urinary incontinence have yet to be addressed. I don't see those perspectives as incompatible. Today we talk with George Kuchel and Alison Huang about: Urinary incontinence as a geriatric syndrome and relationship to frailty, disability, and cognitive decline Assessment of incontinence: the importance of a 48 hour voiding diary, when to send a UA (only for acute changes) How the assessment leads naturally to therapeutic approaches Non-pharmacologic approaches including distraction, scheduled voiding, and pelvic floor therapy “Last ditch” pharmacologic treatments.
