Description
Urinary incontinence is more common than many people realize—and it’s also very treatable. In this video, Dr. Jun Song, Assistant Professor and Urogynecologist at UAMS, explains the two main types of urinary incontinence: stress incontinence, which causes leakage during activities like coughing or sneezing, and overactive bladder, which leads to frequent or urgent urination. Dr. Song walks viewers through a range of treatment options, from Kegel exercises and pelvic floor physical therapy to more advanced procedures like mid-urethral slings and urethral bulking. He also addresses how underlying conditions like diabetes or neurological disorders can contribute to symptoms—and how simple lifestyle changes, like modest weight loss, can significantly improve quality of life. One of the most important takeaways? You don’t have to live with urinary incontinence. There are many options available, and it all starts with having a conversation with your doctor.
