We can help with the following conditions:
Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is the inability to control your bladder, leading to an involuntary loss of urine. The severity varies for women.
Incontinence is caused by either weak sphincter muscles or a neurological issue where the brain isn’t properly signaling the bladder. In some cases, it may be both.
Certain conditions also increase the risk of urinary incontinence, including childbirth, menopause, inactivity, obesity, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Incontinence affects as many as 45% of adult women. Our uro-gynecologist help women in the Idaho Falls area manage their incontinence. If you’re experiencing difficulty holding your urine or an urgency to urinate contact us.

How To Benefit Most From Your Visits To This Office
Make a list of all your symptoms. It is easy to remember the symptoms that hurt or limit your ability to function, but other signs that are not very bothersome, i.e. thirst, poor sleep, weight changes, etc., can be important to the doctor. Let him decide if a symptom is important or not. Write them down so they won’t be forgotten.
Be prepared to tell the providers other information that may be important. These might include medications you are taking, including those that do not require a prescription; any occupational hazards; if anyone in your family or workplace have the same symptoms; any allergic reactions to medication.
What questions do you have? These can be too easily forgotten in the office. Write them down.
Speak freely. No subject or part of your body is too personal to discuss with your physician. This includes bowel habits or sexual concerns; personal matters related to your marriage, children or finances; destructive behaviors such as physical abuse, alcohol, and drug misuse. Your provider can often provide considerable assistance.
