Urinary Incontinence Treatment Near Sault Ste. Marie, MI
For women in Sault Ste. Marie and the Eastern Upper Peninsula area dealing with involuntary urine leakage, expert care is available in Green Bay, 4 hours 30 minutes away. Dr. Ryan Stewart is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist 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. The most common types are stress incontinence (leaking with coughing, sneezing, or exercise), urge incontinence (sudden, intense urges with leaking), and mixed incontinence (a combination of both). All types are highly treatable.
Dr. Stewart explains: “Incontinence is one of the most treatable conditions I see. Most women experience significant improvement, and many achieve complete resolution with the right approach.”

Why See a Urogynecology Specialist?
Depending on their background, a urogynecologist completes 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. This gives them the deepest expertise in conditions like urinary incontinence — from conservative management to advanced surgical techniques.
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 want every patient to understand her options fully so we can build a treatment plan together that fits her life and her goals.”
