In our hospital, type of incontinence is diagnosed with a multidisciplinary approach and appropriate treatment approaches are decided at council meetings and treatment is offered. Pregnancy, childbirth and menopause processes in women cause weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and cause urinary incontinence.
