What's the short answer?
Childbirth, menopause, aging, and heavy lifting can weaken the muscles and tissue that support the urethra.
It's treatable.
When should you see a urologist about this?
Get checked if leaks bother you.
What happens at your Crown Pointe Way appointment?
Visits for this topic usually happen at the Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center, 501 Crown Pointe Way, or at our Braselton clinic. Expect our Gwinnett team to hear the whole story first, examine you briefly, then send any urine, blood or imaging orders down the hall. You leave knowing what was found and what the plan is.
How do our Lawrenceville urologists approach this?
On Crown Pointe Way, bladder plans stack up gradually: retraining habits and the pelvic floor, a prescription, and later in-office Botox injections, InterStim or the Altaviva implant if urgency still runs the day. Stress leakage has its own choices, such as Bulkamid or a sling.
How should you get ready for Crown Pointe Way?
Note when it began, what eases or worsens it, and each medicine or supplement on your list. Carry your insurance card and photo ID, plus results from outside labs or scans. If someone helps you remember details, they are welcome in the room at Crown Pointe Way.
When should you phone us?
Call (678) 344-8900 if symptoms are changing, if a new result worries you, or if a treatment is not doing what you hoped. Crown Pointe Way schedulers will book you with a urologist or physician assistant who sees this concern often.
