Urinary Incontinence in Women

The physicians of the Female Urology program of NYU Urology Associates are highly experienced in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women and are committed to improving the quality of life of women suffering from this condition. Urinary incontinence is typically treated on an outpatient basis, meaning that a hospital stay is usually not necessary.

Through their use of state-of-the-art treatment techniques and a caring approach to patients, NYU Urology Associates has helped many women manage or overcome urinary incontinence.
