Bladder dysfunction care and incontinence care

Bladder dysfunction is a common issue that affects many people, but you don’t have to live with urine leaks or frequent bathroom breaks. Penn Medicine’s urinary specialists have decades of experience helping people restore their bladder control.

Specialist-guided care for common and complex bladder issues

No single bladder treatment works for everyone, so it’s important to have a care team who focuses on your needs. Providers in Penn Medicine’s Bladder Dysfunction, Prolapse, and Incontinence Treatment Program have the expertise to evaluate your symptoms, diagnose your condition, and create a treatment plan that works best for you. During every step, you’ll get specialized care. Our urologists often work with urology and urogynecology experts, physical therapists who have training in pelvic floor support, and surgeons to help relieve your symptoms.

Part of what makes our program stand out is the leading-edge techniques that help us assess and treat your condition. We may use video urodynamics (VUDS) to capture a clear picture of your bladder function and uroflowmetry to check your urinary tract and urine flow, along with other tests. When it comes to treating incontinence, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or overactive bladder (OAB), we provide a variety of options, from medications and therapies to surgery. We focus on both your emotional and physical well-being because we know that bladder symptoms can be a sensitive topic to talk about.
