Tanner Hosting Urologic Problems Education Session in Villa Rica

The education session, "Control When You Go," will cover the diagnosis and treatment of issues related to urinary and bowel incontinence.

VILLA RICA, GA — Urologic problems — such as losing urine involuntarily, having difficulty emptying your bladder, waking from sleep to urinate frequently during the night, frequent urinary tract infections, pain in your pelvis or bladder and more — can have a gradual but significant impact on a person’s quality of life.

Fortunately, evaluation and treatment for leakage, bladder issues and other urologic problems can be highly effective and help people get back to the things they love.

Mitchell K. Rauch, MD, will lead a special information session on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 6:30 p.m. The session will be held in Classrooms A and B at Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica, at 601 Dallas Highway. The classrooms are located on the third floor of the VillaWest medical office building adjacent to the hospital.
