Many women silently cope with urinary incontinence — the involuntary loss of urine — because of embarrassment or misunderstanding. But it’s not a condition you have to accept.
At Africa Urology, we focus on understanding the causes and helping you reclaim control.
A recent meta-analysis found that approximately 24% of adult women in Africa experience urinary incontinence.
In South Africa, one study among university women reported a prevalence of 32%, with only a small fraction seeking help.
Stress Incontinence: Leakage during coughing, sneezing, or physical activity — often due to weakened pelvic floor muscles (post-pregnancy, childbirth, obesity).
Urgency Incontinence: Sudden, strong urge to urinate, sometimes unable to hold on — may be linked to bladder muscle spasms or nerve signals.
Mixed Incontinence: Features of both stress and urgency incontinence.
Risk factors include childbirth (especially multiple deliveries), obesity, aging, chronic coughing, constipation, menopause, and pelvic surgery history.
Urinary incontinence affects emotional well-being, social life, intimacy, and self-confidence. Many women report anxiety, embarrassment, isolation, and decreased physical activity.
Pelvic Floor Exercises & Physiotherapy — foundational and often very effective.
Bladder Training & Behavioral Therapies — scheduled voiding, fluid adjustments.
Medication or Medical Therapies — for more severe cases under urologist guidance.
Surgery / Interventions — for anatomical issues or when conservative therapy fails.
Leakage interferes with your daily life
Symptoms worsen over time
Conservative methods haven’t worked
Associated with pain, blood in urine, or recurrent infections
At Africa Urology, we don’t just treat symptoms — we treat you. We listen closely, diagnose carefully, and guide you toward solutions that restore comfort, dignity, and control.
Africa Urology is a specialist practice founded by Dr. Viola Morolo, the first Black female urologist to graduate from the University of Pretoria.
