With Women, Dr. Staub said that the primary concern that women come to urologists for are urninary incontinence, stress incontinence, and urge incontinence. These can be caused by pressure on the bladder and can be managed successfully today. Dr. Staub also talked some about Viagra. He urged anyone who takes Viagra to talk not only to their urologist about this, but to also include the cardiologist. There are a variety of medications, such as Nitrates, and multiple antihypertensive medications that when taken along with Viagra can prove deadly.
