Practice Bulletin #155 - Published November 2015 (Reaffirmed 2018) Special guest: Ryan Stewart, DO (his 2nd appearance!) Ryan's four pearls: 1. Urinary incontinence is extremely common, but it's not normal. Screening for incontinence is vital for all physicians with female patients. 2. A correct incontinence diagnosis is of utmost importance. Treatment will only work if you know what you're treating. 3. Minimum evaluation for a woman presenting with incontinence: history, urinalysis/= (and maybe culture), physical exam, demonstration of stress incontinence, evaluation of urethral mobility, and post-void residual. 4. Behavioral therapy and pelvic floor exercises improve symptoms of incontinence and may be recommended as first line therapy Shout-outs: - Julie Wiebe, PT on Twitter (and Instagram) - Julie's interview in Ep 35 "Hope for the Pelvic Floor" - Lori Forner, PT on Twitter (and Instagram) - Patagonia makes quality sh*tSHOW NOTES This episode pairs nicely with the 2017 Pinot Noir by Meiomi Wines.
