Sex can sometimes cause an exacerbation of pre-existing injury and contribute to more bladder pain, vaginal pain, and urgency. Many of my patients and clients have blown out their backs in the throes of passion or worse still had so much pain afterward they couldn’t even sit.

My patients are on the cutting edge of all things. Maybe its NYC but they come in every week with a new therapy they have discovered or tried.

Incontinence does not respect you.  It can occur at virtually anytime with little or no warning.  And when it does happen, you have that thought you have is typically along the lines, “Oh no, not again, I hope it is not that bad.”
