About Urinary Incontinence Treatment
At Lawrence Family Practice Center, we understand how embarrassing and frustrating it can be to deal with urinary incontinence.

Thankfully, there are many ways to address incontinence offered by our comprehensive care facility in Lawrence, KS. If you're struggling to keep your bladder movements under control, reach out to our physicians to learn about your options.

Incontinence Treatment FAQ
