Welcome to the Achieving Bladder Control (ABC) Specialty Clinic
Your child wants to be dry. He or she needs help. We can help with achieving continence. We can also help with children experiencing pain on urination, urinary tract infections (UTI), urinary frequency or urgency and many other symptoms.
If your child has bathroom issues with wetting or constipation we are here to help.
We help children and teens overcome:
- Day time wetting
- Bed wetting
- Potty training difficulties
- Urinary urgency
- Urinary frequency
- Burning with urination
- Repeated urinary tract infections with or without fever
We have a state-of-the-art urodynamics lab to understand what the bladder is doing and why it is leaking. Understanding the problem helps us recommend the best solutions.
We work in collaboration with urologists (urinary tract surgeons) and pelvic floor physical therapists when needed to fully treat the condition.
For doing the voiding diary, you need a urine collection device…
