Bladder leakage: physio, pessary or surgery?

Tell me what's going on with your bladder. You'll see the three real treatment paths — and the order the Australian guidelines say to try them in — so you can walk into your GP knowing what to ask for by name. Free. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

If this is an emergency, don't use this tool — call 000 now. Chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), severe bleeding, or thoughts of harming yourself: call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department. Lifeline 13 11 14.

This map is built around the most common bladder-leakage patterns in women — if that's you, it applies regardless of how you identify.

General information to help you prepare for your GP — not medical advice or an emergency service. If something's urgent, call 000 (Lifeline 13 11 14).
