Bladder Problems? You’re Not Alone.

It may be uncomfortable to talk about your bladder problems, but doing so is the first step to effective treatment. To recognize Bladder Health Awareness Month, we want you to know your problems are not only treatable, they’re common!

  • About 1 in 10 Americans suffer from an overactive bladder. The sudden urge to urinate can be frustrating and disruptive to many aspects of your daily life.
  • One in two women age 65+ are impacted by stress urinary incontinence. There’s nothing funny about leaking when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise. Learn about your many treatment options.
  • Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the U.S. It’s highly treatable when caught early. Find out what to look for.
  • About 1-4 million men, and 3-8 million women have symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome. If you have bladder pain that lasts more than six weeks, ask your doctor if it could be Interstitial Cystitis.

Every day our experienced providers consult with patients suffering from bladder control problems. Once we uncover the cause of the problem, we carefully discuss each treatment option to find the one that’s right for you. Nearly all bladder problems are treatable, that’s why we won’t give up until your problem is resolved and your quality of life is restored.

If you’re suffering from a bladder control problem, let’s talk. Request an appointment.

Hormone Replacement Therapy a Game Changer

As you age, you may feel a drop in energy and no longer feel like yourself. What happened? Imbalanced hormones may likely be the cause. It occurs in men and women and causes symptoms like:

  • Fatigue
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Brain fog
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Mood swings
  • Night sweats
  • Hot flashes or flushes
  • Weight gain/difficulty losing weight
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Painful sex
  • Muscle and joint pain

You can return to the life you love with Biote hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This popular therapy involves inserting pellets (about the size of a grain of rice) under the skin during a quick office visit. The pellets release hormones consistently over time, ensuring steady and optimal hormone levels in your body.
