Treatment for Female Urinary Incontinence in Ocala, FL

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to live with it. Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, yet many delay seeking help. If you’re experiencing bladder leakage, urgency, or other urinary symptoms, Dr. Kelsey Lipking, MD, a fellowship-trained urogynecologist at Florida Women’s Health, offers expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs.

What Is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is a condition where there is loss of control in managing the flow of urine from your body. 

Approximately 17 million women in the U.S. encounter urinary incontinence in their lifetime. Incontinence usually occurs in women between the ages of 18 and 60 and beyond and is usually a result of the urethra not being closed tightly to keep urine in the bladder. Symptoms vary from:

  • An inability to prevent leaking urine when exercising or other involuntary actions such as coughing or sneezing.
  • An overwhelming urge to urinate that often causes them to urinate before getting to a bathroom.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch For

If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time to seek help:

  • Stress Incontinence – Leakage during coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising

  • Urge Incontinence – A sudden, strong urge to urinate followed by leakage

  • Mixed Incontinence – A combination of stress and urge symptoms

  • Overflow Incontinence – Frequent dribbling due to incomplete bladder emptying

  • Frequent urination (more than 8 times per day or waking often at night)

  • Pain or burning with urination

A constant feeling of needing to go or never fully emptying the bladder

The 7 Types of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary Incontinence can be caused by a range of different issues. Because of this, incontinence can be categorized in one of the following seven ways:

  • Urge Incontinence: The sudden and unexpected need to urinate more than 8 times per day can lead to leaks voiding.
  • Stress Incontinence: The involuntary loss of urine due to increased pressure on the abdomen and bladder.
  • Overflow Incontinence: Small amounts of urine involuntarily leaks because the patient is unable to sense when the bladder is full.
  • Mixed Incontinence: Mixed incontinence is the most common form. Patients exhibit symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence.
  • Functional Incontinence: There is no issue with the urinary system, but the patient is unable to make it to the bathroom in time due to mental or physical limitations.
  • Transient Incontinence: This form of incontinence is temporary and caused by a short-lived condition or treatment for a condition.
  • Total Incontinence: Total incontinence is the complete loss of urinary control due to a severe physical injury or abnormality.
