Urinary Incontinence Spearkers Bureau September 29, 2010

ARE YOU CURRENTLY AVOIDING ACTIVITY, EXERCISE OR SOCIAL SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF URINARY INCONTINENCE?

WHAT: Matthew Karlovsky, M.D., a fellowship-trained, board-certified urologist who specializes in female pelvic health issues, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections, will discusses female urinary incontinence (UI).

UI is the involuntary loss of urine. An estimated 13 million adults, 85 percent of whom are women, are afflicted with UI annually. Due to the embarrassment UI brings, fewer than half the people with the condition seek help, yet it can be treated in approximately eight out of 10 cases.

Dr. Karlovsky has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on pelvic floor repair, as well as articles in the lay press. He is a health writer for various websites and gives talks to doctors and public groups on matters of female pelvic health.
