Genesee Valley Ob/Gyn, P.C.

From all of us at Genesee Valley Obstetrics & Gynecology, we wish you a very happy and healthy new year!

Urine leaking when exercising, coughing, sneezing, laughing or moving many women think it's a normal part of having children or going into menopause. But that shouldn't be the case! This is actually a common medical condition called Urinary Incontinence which can be treated by the providers of Genesee Valley Obstetrics & Gynecology. https://gvog.com/ob/gynecological-care/female-incontinence/

If you are pregnant or gave birth within the last year, it’s important to talk to your provider about anything that doesn’t feel right. It may be physical, but it could also include feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that make it difficult to complete daily care activities for yourself, your baby or others.

From all of us at Genesee Valley Obstetrics & Gynecology, we wish you all happy holidays!
