Do doctors see a lot of patients with stress incontinence?

Sadly yes: Stress incontinence is very common in women especially after child birth. The good news ther are some less invasive and very effective treatments to fix this common problem.

Yes: But seeing the patient, diagnosing, or even treating are different issues. For evaluation and treatment, a woman may choose a gyn dr, a uro-gyn, or even a urologist. If the doctor you are seeing seems unresponsive or uncomfortable, seek a referral.

Yes,...: Yes. Some 50-85% of the elderly in long-term care facilities have urinary incontinence, and women are 2 x more than men at any age. So, you're not alone. In fact, such occurrence tends to be under-reported due to personal embarrassment. While docs can not cure it, they can help the patients cope with it by applying behavioral modification, awareness, kegel exercise, protective pads/dvice, surgery.

Definitely: Stress incontinence is very common. I recommend follow up with a urologist or urogynecologist www.voicesforpfd.org www.ics.org
