Pelvic Health Matters: How ASC Helps with Urinary Incontinence & Urogynecology Care

Introduction

Pelvic health is an essential part of overall well-being, yet it is often overlooked or left unaddressed due to embarrassment or lack of awareness. Urinary incontinence—the loss of bladder control—affects more than 13 million people in the U.S., with women experiencing it twice as often as men (Office on Women’s Health, NIH). At Advanced Specialty Care & Med Spa (ASC), we believe pelvic health deserves the same attention as every other aspect of your health. Our team provides compassionate urogynecology care and advanced treatments to help women regain confidence and quality of life.

Understanding Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is not a disease but a symptom of an underlying issue, and it can affect women at any age.

Types of urinary incontinence include:

  • Stress incontinence – Leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.

  • Urge incontinence – A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage.

  • Mixed incontinence – A combination of stress and urge symptoms.

  • Overflow incontinence – Incomplete bladder emptying leading to frequent dribbling.

Causes may include pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, pelvic floor weakness, neurological conditions, or chronic health issues such as diabetes (Mayo Clinic).

Why Pelvic Health Matters

Beyond the inconvenience of leaks, untreated pelvic floor issues can impact:

  • Daily activities and exercise

  • Sleep and rest (due to frequent nighttime urination)

  • Emotional health (embarrassment, anxiety, and withdrawal from social life)

  • Sexual health (pain, reduced intimacy, or vaginal laxity)

These challenges can feel isolating, but you are not alone—and effective treatments are available.

Lifestyle Support for Pelvic Health

Our providers also guide patients in supportive lifestyle strategies such as:

  • Avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners

  • Practicing pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises consistently
