Thank you!
A big thank you goes out to all those who made the 23rd annual Walk-A-Thon and Road Race possible this weekend! We ended up having a great turnout with about 65 total runners, speed-walkers and walkers. Because of all our participants and volunteers, we were able to raise a good amount of funds to go toward our community's dental needs. Hope to see you again next year for the 24th annual!

What is Androgen Deficiency in aging males (low-testosterone / low-t)?
What is Androgen Deficiency in aging males (low-testosterone / low-t)?
Androgen deficiency in men means the body has lower than average levels of male hormones – most importantly, testosterone.
This deficiency may be caused by problems in the areas of the brain that control the function of the testes (pituitary gland and hypothalamus)
or by problems in the testes themselves. Treatment involves testosterone replacement therapy.

What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary loss / leakage of urine from the bladder. Urinary incontinence can have a variety of causes.
Women experience this condition twice as often as men.
Procedure offered at Cottage Hospital to treat this condition in women:
Urethral Vaginal Sling
There are several options to address incontinence. A consultation with a Urologist will help decide the best option for each individual. One option could be a urethral vaginal sling. This is a surgical procedure done under anesthesia to correct urinary incontinence in females by supporting the urethra (the tube that drains the bladder) with a strong piece of material that acts as a sling. This is a same day procedure that is performed by our Urologist, Dr. Richard Caesar. Recovery times vary.
Call 603.747.9205 with questions.
