Trusted Houston Incontinence Doctor for Women’s Bladder Health

What Is Urinary Incontinence and What Causes It?

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine—often triggered by coughing, sneezing, laughing, or a sudden, strong urge to go. It’s a common condition that affects millions of women but is often underdiagnosed due to embarrassment or the belief that it’s a normal part of aging. Incontinence can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Weak pelvic floor muscles

• Childbirth or pregnancy

• Menopause and hormonal shifts

• Overactive bladder or nerve dysfunction

• Urinary tract infections

• Obesity or chronic coughing

Whether your symptoms are occasional or ongoing, our experienced Houston incontinence doctor can help identify the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
