What Is Incontinence and Overactive Bladder?
Incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine, while an overactive bladder (OAB) is associated with frequent and sudden urges to urinate, sometimes accompanied by urine loss.
Both conditions are common but can be distressing and impact daily life.
Dr. Wagner offers comprehensive evaluations to diagnose the specific type of incontinence or bladder issue and develop a tailored treatment plan.
Types of Incontinence
- Stress Incontinence: Urine loss occurs when pressure is applied to the bladder, such as when coughing, sneezing, or engaging in physical activity.
- Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary urine loss, often associated with an overactive bladder.
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of stress and urge incontinence symptoms.
- Overflow Incontinence: Inability to completely empty the bladder, leading to frequent or constant dribbling.
Symptoms of Overactive Bladder
- Frequent urination (eight or more times in 24 hours)
- Sudden, urgent need to urinate
- Nocturia (frequent nighttime urination)
- Occasional urine loss with a strong urge to urinate

Treatment Options for Incontinence and Overactive Bladder
Effective treatment for incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and sometimes minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Anna M Wagner offers a range of treatment options tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
- Lifestyle Changes and Bladder Training: Techniques such as pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), bladder training, and dietary modifications can help strengthen bladder control and alleviate symptoms.
- Medication: Depending on the type of incontinence or bladder condition, medications may be prescribed to relax bladder muscles, reduce urgency, or improve bladder function.
- Laser Treatment with a CO2 Laser: CO2 laser treatment is an advanced option for managing incontinence and overactive bladder. While not covered by insurance, this treatment is recommended by the SGGG (Swiss Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics) for its effectiveness in symptom relief.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: In more severe cases, treatments such as Botox injections, sling procedures under the urethra, or nerve stimulation techniques may be considered to effectively manage symptoms.
- Follow-Up and Support: Dr. Wagner places great importance on regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide ongoing support.
