Bladder Problems? You’re Not Alone.

It may be uncomfortable to talk about your bladder problems, but doing so is the first step to effective treatment. To recognize Bladder Health Awareness Month in November, we want you to know your problems are not only treatable, many of them are common!

• About 1 in 10 Americans suffer from an overactive bladder. The sudden and frequent urge to urinate can be frustrating and disruptive to many aspects of your daily life.
• One in two women age 65+ are impacted by stress urinary incontinence. There’s nothing funny about leaking when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise. Learn about stress urinary incontinence treatment options.
• Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the U.S. It’s highly treatable when caught early. Learn about bladder cancer symptoms and next steps.
• About 1-4 million men, and 3-8 million women have symptoms of interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome). If you have bladder pain that lasts more than six weeks, talk to your doctor – it could be interstitial cystitis.

Every day our experienced providers consult with patients suffering from bladder control problems. Once we uncover the cause of the problem, we carefully discuss each treatment option to find the one that’s right for you. Nearly all bladder problems are treatable, that’s why we won’t give up until your problem is resolved and your quality of life is restored.

With more than 40 locations in Southeast Pennsylvania, we have an office nearby. Find the location that’s best for you.

Year-End Healthcare Reminder

Imagine a new year without the worries of an overactive bladder, enlarged prostate, or a weak pelvic floor. If you’ve met your yearly deductible for health insurance, now is a good time to schedule those treatments you may have been putting off. Review your plan details to be sure you’ve met your annual deductible, and to confirm it resets on January 1, 2026.

Do you need to spend your FSA account before the end of the year? Consider prioritizing your sexual wellness with shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (called eWave) or vaginal rejuvenation, which treats vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. These out-of-pocket treatments can give you the confidence and passion to live your best life in 2026. Make an appointment with your provider to learn more.

Significant Milestone in Bladder Cancer Treatment

A huge congratulations to Dr. David Cahn and Nurse Anna Sutch on a significant milestone in the treatment of bladder cancer.

On October 14, Dr. Cahn successfully performed the first procedure in the Solaris Health network with INLEXZO™ (gemcitabine intravesical system), following its U.S. FDA approval in September.

For patients battling bladder cancer who haven’t responded to standard therapy, the next step has often been radical, life-altering bladder removal surgery. INLEXZO offers a new path. By delivering cancer medication directly into the bladder, it provides a much-needed, less-invasive alternative for those who don’t want or can’t undergo major surgery.

“I appreciate all the support from the physicians, staff, and administration from both MidLantic Urology and Solaris Health. We are dedicated to helping our bladder cancer patients achieve the best outcomes possible and have access to the newest available medication and technology. Hopefully, as the options broaden and clinical trial data matures, updated treatment paradigms will give our patients the best options for their cancer treatment.”
