Altru’s Urology department’s expert providers specialize in
diseases of the urinary tract in both males and females. Prior to seeing
a member of the Urology team, patients should see their primary care provider
to rule out other causes of symptoms. Your primary care provider and urology
team will work together to help choose the best treatment for your needs
and lifestyle.
Urology is located in Altru Professional Center (main entrance door #13).
To make an appointment, call
701.780.6427, or toll-free at
800.437.5373.
Incontinence
Incontinence can be an embarrassing and inconvenient problem, however, it is treatable.
There is medication or minimally invasive surgical options, or the combination
of each to correct the condition.
The cause of urinary incontinence can range from loss of support of the
pelvic floor structure (usually caused by childbirth) to an overall poorly
functioning bladder.
Altru’s Urology department now offers InterStim Neuromodulator Therapy
for the treatment of overactive bladder or fecal incontinence. For more
information, please discuss with your primary care or Urology provider or
watch a pre-recorded webinar.
