Proper Diagnosis

Treatment Options that Work

We offer a full spectrum of proven treatment options to help you gain control of your bladder and bowel function.  After a private consultation with a specialist at the Center, your treatment plan may include:

  • Multichannel Urodynamics – an outpatient procedure that uses a small catheter inserted into the bladder to electronically measure the function of the bladder, urethra and pelvic floor muscles during filling, leakage and urination.
  • Behavioral Strategies – to help you learn urination and toileting patters that may improve control of your bladder and bowels.
  • Diet Modification - to identify potential issues with fluid or food intake that may alter your bladder and bowel function or habits.
  • Pelvic Floor Therapy - for women who have problems with urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, urinary frequency and urgency, post-partum difficulties with episiotomy pain and tightness.  Treatments may include internal and/or external soft tissue mobilization, ultrasound and electrical stimulation, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education and biofeedback.
  • Biofeedback Training – including massage, exercise, water therapy and ultrasound to identify and help correct musculoskeletal problems that contribute to pelvic pain or incontinence.
  • Medications – There are numerous medications available to help reduce bowel and bladder incontinence.  Certain drugs that decrease bladder spasm, tighten the urinary sphincter or alleviate irritation are available for use.  Medications that aid in adjusting stool consistency and motility are often useful to those with fecal incontinence.
  • Surgical Procedures – including collagen injections, tension free vaginal tape (TVT), prolapse repair and nerve stimulation implants are options for bladder control.
  • Anorectal Manometry – an outpatient procedure that provides the physician with information on the pressures generated in the rectum and anal canal.
  • Pudendal Nerve Testing – an outpatient procedure that measures motor response time of the pudendal nerve which controls bowel and bladder function in both females and males.  This test is useful in diagnosing bowel and bladder conditions involving the nervous system.
  • Defecography – This outpatient fluoroscopic procedure performed with rectal contrast is to study the anatomy and function of the anorectum and pelvic floor during defecation.

Additional Services

The Center also specializes in pelvic pain syndromes, including painful bladder syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis.  For fecal incontinence, procedures such as Sphincteroplasty, Labatoplasty or other surgical interventions are available based on individual need.
