Don’t Ignore Urinary Incontinence – See a Urologist in Brisbane Today

Urinary incontinence — the unintentional loss of urine — is more common than many people realize. It can affect people of all ages and genders, often impacting confidence, comfort, and daily life. If you’re silently managing leaks, urgency, or frequent trips to the bathroom, it may be time to speak with a urologist in Brisbane.

We provide discreet, compassionate care for those experiencing bladder control issues. Our goal is to help you regain control and improve your quality of life through accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment options.

Understanding Incontinence: It’s Not Just Part of Getting Older

While urinary incontinence is more common with age, it’s not something you have to “just live with.” It can be a sign of underlying issues like a weak pelvic floor, bladder irritation, nerve damage, or even an infection. Some women experience incontinence after childbirth or during menopause, while men may develop symptoms after prostate surgery or with an enlarged prostate.

There are different types of incontinence:

  • Stress incontinence: Leaking when you cough, laugh, or exercise

  • Urge incontinence: A sudden, intense need to urinate

  • Overflow incontinence: Incomplete emptying of the bladder

  • Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge symptoms

Seeing a urologist can help determine the cause — and the right treatment.

What to Expect from a Urologist Appointment

At our Brisbane clinic, we begin with a detailed consultation and may perform tests like bladder scans, urine analysis, or urodynamic studies to assess how your bladder is functioning. Once we understand the root of the problem, we’ll guide you through your options, which might include:

  • Bladder training or pelvic floor exercises

  • Medication to relax the bladder or strengthen control

  • Non-surgical treatments like nerve stimulation

  • Surgical options for severe or long-term cases

We’ll also provide tips on managing symptoms day-to-day — because little changes can make a big difference.
