16 The Courier sun • march 26, 2015 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com Urinary Incontinence: It Doesn’t Have to Rule Your Life Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common condition, but many people have trouble discussing it with their doctor because of embarrassment, a lack of knowledge about treatment options and the misconception that it is a “normal” part of aging. Farzeen Firoozi, MD, a urologist specializing in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition. Bladder or urinary incontinence (UI), also known as a loss of bladder control, can have symptoms ranging from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. There are several types of UI, including: • Urge incontinence — The inability to hold urine long enough to reach a restroom. It is often found in people who have conditions such as diabetes, stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, but may be an indication of other diseases or conditions that would also warrant medical attention. • Stress incontinence — Leakage of urine during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting heavy objects or other body movements that put pressure on the bladder. This is the most common type of incontinence in younger women. • Functional incontinence — Leakage due to a difficulty reaching a restroom in time because of physical conditions such as arthritis. • Overflow incontinence — Leakage that occurs when the quantity of urine produced exceeds the bladder’s capacity to hold it. What you need to know about UI: • 200 million people are affected by UI worldwide. • 1 in 3 Americans age 30 to 70 have experienced bladder control loss, and may be living with symptoms. • 2 in 3 people with UI do not use any treatments to manage their condition. • According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 51 percent of people aged 65 and older living at home reported bladder and/or bowel incontinence. While one-third of American adults think that UI is a normal part of aging that they have to accept, incontinence can be improved or completely cured with proper evaluation and treatment. The Smith Institute for Urology has resources for men and women who want to discuss these symptoms and treatment options with a physician.
