Urinary Incontinence Treatment Near Iron Mountain, MI
For women in Iron Mountain and the Upper Peninsula area dealing with involuntary urine leakage, expert care is available just 2 hours 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.”
