Meet the Experts

When they do decide to see a doctor, most people with incontinence turn to their GP or family doctor for help. Some women will discuss it with their gynecologist. Unfortunately, not all GPs or gynecologists will wish to diagnose the cause of incontinence themselves. They may refer you to a specialist for additional tests or advice on treatment. Depending on your particular circumstances, the road to getting help may include these specialists:

  • A urologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the urinary system in women and men and the male reproductive system. Urologists are qualified surgeons. Click here to learn more.
  • A urogynecologist, a gynecologist with special training in urinary problems that affect women. Urogynecologists are also qualified surgeons. Click here to learn more.
