In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic faculty member Jessica Gingerich discusses common challenges in addressing stress urinary incontinence in patients. She highlights three key points that can aid practitioners in understanding and treating this condition effectively. The first point focuses on confirming whether the leakage is indeed urine, with tips on how to differentiate it from sweat or discharge. Dr. Gingerch suggests practical methods for patients to verify the source of the fluid, including using an over-the-counter medication that turns urine bright orange. Once established that the leakage is urine, she emphasizes the importance of detailing when these incidents occur to provide better care. Tune in for valuable insights that could transform your approach to treating stress urinary incontinence.
