Bladder disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting bladder control, structure, or function. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine and may occur due to weak muscles, nerve damage, or bladder dysfunction.
Overactive bladder (OAB)
Urge incontinence
Stress incontinence (common in women after childbirth)
Overflow incontinence
Functional incontinence (mobility-related)
Neurogenic bladder (due to spinal injuries, diabetes, or Parkinson’s)
Interstitial cystitis / Bladder pain syndrome
Urinary retention or incomplete emptying
Bladder diverticula or bladder stones
Many people experience occasional, minor leaks of urine. Others may lose small to moderate amounts of urine more frequently.
Types of urinary incontinence include:
Urine leaks when you exert pressure on your bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting something heavy.
You have a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. You may need to urinate often, including throughout the night. Urge incontinence may be caused by a minor condition, such as infection, or a more severe condition such as a neurological disorder or diabetes.
You experience frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to a bladder that doesn’t empty completely.
When physical or mental limitations (e.g., arthritis, stroke, dementia) prevent timely bathroom access, despite normal bladder function.
You experience more than one type of urinary incontinence — most often this refers to a combination of stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
Bladder disorders and urinary incontinence can disrupt daily life, cause embarrassment, and affect emotional well-being. Fortunately, most bladder conditions are treatable. Dr. Ankit Vaishnav, a renowned Urologist, Robotic Surgeon & Renal Transplant Specialist in Ahmedabad, offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for bladder dysfunction and incontinence in both men and women.
Bladder disorders and urinary incontinence can affect people of all ages and genders, though they are more common in:
Women after childbirth or menopause experiencing stress incontinence
Men after prostate surgery or with enlarged prostate (BPH)
Elderly individuals facing age-related muscle weakening or nerve dysfunction
People with neurological conditions like diabetes, stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis
Patients with frequent UTIs, bladder pain, or urgency
Individuals with uncontrolled urine leakage during cough, laugh, or movement
People with overactive bladder (OAB) or frequent nighttime urination
Anyone with difficulty emptying the bladder fully or chronic retention

Bladder disorders can present in various forms, each with distinct causes and symptoms. Dr. Ankit Vaishnav specializes in diagnosing and treating all major types, including:
A condition characterized by sudden, frequent urges to urinate, often with or without leakage. Caused by involuntary bladder muscle contractions.
The inability to hold urine once the urge strikes, often linked with OAB. Common in both men and women, especially with aging or neurological conditions.
Urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting. Often seen in women post-pregnancy or after menopause due to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Caused by a bladder that doesn’t empty fully, leading to dribbling. Common in men with enlarged prostate or people with nerve damage.
When physical or mental limitations (e.g., arthritis, stroke, dementia) prevent timely bathroom access, despite normal bladder function.
A combination of urge and stress incontinence, particularly common in women.
Bladder dysfunction caused by nerve damage due to spinal cord injuries, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis.
A chronic bladder condition causing pain, pressure, and frequent urination without infection.
Post-treatment, Dr. Vaishnav ensures each patient receives personalized guidance to prevent recurrence and maintain quality of life:
Behavioral counseling
Post-op bladder retraining
Pelvic floor strengthening
Scheduled follow-ups and bladder scans
Incontinence product guidance if needed
Coordination with physiotherapy (for pelvic rehab)
