Causes of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is caused by an inability of the sphincter muscles to close the urethra. Urinary incontinence can also be caused by nerve problems that affect the bladder muscles and urethra.

Diplomate American Board of Obesity Medicine

Doctor Wood initially received two Bachelors of Arts in Microbiology and Physiology from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale before matriculating to medical school at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and earning her Medical Doctorate. From there she completed Family Medicine Residency training at St. Louis University Family Medicine Residency, while at the same time enrolling and completing training for a Masters of Science in Public Health from St. Louis University.

There are two tracks of study for Obesity Medicine Certification. Dr. Wood chose the Certified Medical Education credit hour track for her certification. In this pathway, she had to be in good standing with her Family Medicine Board Certification (completed in 2009), then complete 60 credit hours of obesity medicine related medical education. The bulk of these credit hours were earned through the late February 2021 and received her certification. She has also received training and certification from the Aesthetic Medical Educators Training Program and the Saratoga Laser Institute.

Who is at Risk of Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence typically affects women more than men, because of pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. The pelvic muscles become weaker, which decreases support for both the bladder and urethra.

What You Can Do to Help Minimize Urinary Incontinence

There are several steps you can take to help minimize episodes of incontinence. You should:

• Do Kegel exercises regularly to strengthen pelvic floor muscles
• Urinate at set times to train your bladder
• Increase the time between urination by 15-minute intervals to help hold urine
• Lose weight to decrease pressure on your bladder and bladder muscles
• Avoid caffeine, carbonated drinks, and alcohol to help minimize symptoms
• Quit smoking to improve your overall health and decrease symptoms
• Get help if you are constipated, which can make incontinence worse
• Wear pads or protective underwear to help control leakage
