Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if I suffer from frequent urinary tract infections?
We look at Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) differently. We not only look to help ones symptoms immediately, but we also look to find out why you have gotten the infection in order to prevent another infection from returning. This is what makes the specialists at Women’s Excellence in Bladder Control different. Our center focuses on why something occurs and targets evaluation and treatment to completely treat the problem. We are focused to solve an issue rather than just handle it.
Many recurrent urinary tract infections are not even infections at all but rather bladder wall irritations or deficiencies such as interstitial cystitis. If you have a simple bladder infection or chronic recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), our specialists can provide you the right therapy and the right diagnostic work-up.
Do Kegel exercises help bladder problems?
Yes, if done correctly, Kegel exercises are a great at-home therapy to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. To accurately perform Kegels, you need to make sure you are focusing on the correct pelvic muscles. You can identify these muscles the next time you use the restroom.
While urinating, immediately stop the flow of your urine and squeeze your muscles. Those are the muscles you use for Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises can be done at any time. Squeeze those pelvic muscles for 10 seconds, and then rest for 10 seconds. Do this 4-6 times a day.
Results are not immediate and may not work for everyone depending on the severity of your bladder condition.
