Incontinence

Incontinence — More Common Than You May Think

It's not just you! Estimates suggest as many as 50% of females experience bladder control problems. But just because it's common doesn't mean you have to live with it. Summa Health's urogynecologists have many non-surgical and surgical incontinence treatments available to minimize its impact on your daily life, so you can ditch the incontinence products and get back to living your life.

We also offer pelvic floor physical therapy, a unique form of physical therapy that uses strengthening exercises and other treatments to strengthen the bladder and bowel muscles without surgery or medications.

"After suffering for years with pelvic pain, I finally came to Summa Health. Pelvic pain isn't easy to talk about. It's such a rough road and a lonely pain. Luckily, Summa Health has the doctors and the physical therapy services that have truly saved my life."

—Valerie Esmont, pelvic pain patient at Summa Health

Addressing Your Pain

Addressing Your Pain With Your Future in Mind

At Summa Health, our goal is to find treatments for endometriosis, fibroids and other causes of pelvic pain that allow you to live the life you want.

Summa Health is one of few facilities in Northeast Ohio to offer excision surgery to treat endometriosis, a minimally invasive procedure that can remove endometriosis scar tissue and improve your chances of getting pregnant.

We also offer laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, a minimally invasive treatment for fibroids that does not require any surgical cuts on the uterus.

Other treatment options may include:

  • Medications
  • Removal of the uterus, tubes and ovaries
  • Other treatments

Female Pelvic Floor Health Quiz

Don't suffer in silence. Take our 5 minute pelvic health quiz to help determine if you have a pelvic floor disorder and determine the appropriate next steps. You can then download your personal results and schedule an appointment with a Summa urogynecologist.

  • Do you leak urine when you cough, laugh or sneeze?
  • Do you feel a strong urge to urinate and sometimes can't get to the bathroom in time?
  • Do you feel a bulge, protrusion or pressure in your vagina?

Spend a few minutes with the following quiz to help you understand if a pelvic floor condition exists.
