Urinary Incontinence Treatment Near Fond du Lac, WI
For women in Fond du Lac and the Fond du Lac County area dealing with involuntary urine leakage, expert care is available just 1 hour away in Green Bay. Dr. Ryan Stewart is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist in Green Bay offering comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor conditions.
Understanding Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence — the involuntary leakage of urine — affects approximately one in three women. It’s not a disease itself, but a symptom with several possible causes, and it’s highly treatable.
The most common types are:
- Stress incontinence — leaking during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise, caused by weakened pelvic support
- Urge incontinence — sudden, intense urges to urinate followed by involuntary leaking, caused by overactive bladder muscles
- Mixed incontinence — a combination of both types, which is actually the most common pattern
Dr. Stewart explains: “Incontinence is one of the most common conditions I treat, and one of the most rewarding — because the treatments we have today are remarkably effective. Most women see significant improvement, and many achieve complete resolution.”

Why See a Urogynecology Specialist?
While many healthcare providers can discuss urinary incontinence, a urogynecologist offers fellowship-trained specialization that general OB/GYNs and primary care providers typically cannot match. Depending on their background, urogynecologists complete either a 3-year fellowship after an OB/GYN residency or a 2-year fellowship after a urology residency, focused entirely on pelvic floor disorders — giving them the deepest expertise in conditions like urinary incontinence.
Dr. Stewart’s Approach
Dr. Stewart’s care philosophy centers on education and shared decision-making. The word “doctor” comes from the Latin docere — to teach — and this guides every patient interaction.
Dr. Stewart notes: “I believe every woman deserves to understand her condition fully before making treatment decisions. When you understand what’s causing your leaking and what your options are, we can build a plan together that fits your life and your goals.”
