Questions to Ask the Doctor
Women who are struggling with bladder control problems or bladder prolapse may want to consider seeing a urologist or a urogynecologist (a doctor who specializes in the female urinary tract). Questions women may want to ask include the following:
- How often do you treat this problem in other patients?
- How many of your patients improve without surgery?
- How many of your patients improve with surgery?
- What can I do to maximize my improvement with this condition?

ENABLEX is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat the following symptoms due to a condition called overactive bladder:
- · having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
- · leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
- · having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder. Side effects of ENABLEX include blurred vision, and more commonly dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Use caution when doing certain activities until you know how ENABLEX affects you.
