Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. This condition is prevalent in elderly adults, impacting both health and quality of life, but it can affect younger adults as well.

Join us for a discussion to learn more about urinary incontinence; what it is, different types, how it is treated, and risk factors associated with urinary incontinence during the Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series in partnership with the Harry Belafonte 115th Street Library.

Unwanaobong Nseyo, M.D., MPH, is an Assistant Professor of Urology at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Dr. Nseyo is a urologist with a clinical focus on female reconstructive urology, including prolapse and urinary incontinence, and complex voiding dysfunction, especially in a neurogenic bladder population. She also has expertise in minimally invasive and robotic techniques for complex reconstruction. Given the relationship between urinary issues and age, Dr. Nseyo's clinical practice is dedicated to improving the quality of life for older patients with urinary complaints.

Dr. Nseyo’s clinical practice is complemented by a robust research portfolio in health services and clinical research around issues of quality and access to care among under-served patient populations with benign urologic disease. She has been recognized by the American Urological Association for her commitment to research early in her career through her selection for AUA’s Early Career Investigator’s Workshop and Urology Scientific Mentoring and Research Training cohort.

Dr. Nseyo believes women’s health is advocacy and is steadfast in her commitment to improve access to care and treatment for the pelvic health concerns of her patients.
