How do you treat urinary incontinence?

Treatment of urinary incontinence depends upon the type, cause, and severity of the problem. Most importantly, the treatment of incontinence should be predicated on a clear understanding of the underlying physiology and pathology. In some cases exercising the pelvic floor muscles (Kegels, biofeedback, or electrical stimulation) or periurethral injection of collagen may suffice in mild cases of stress incontinence. In some cases medications may be effective, e.g., estrogens may be effective when stress incontinence is due to hormonal imbalance.

If urge incontinence also exists, combination therapy may be necessary. In severe cases associated with anatomical abnormalities such as intrinsic sphincter deficiency, large cystoceles, urethral diverticulum, vesico-vaginal fistulae or genital prolapse, surgery may be the best option. For the neurogenic bladder, clean, intermittent self-catheterization is an option.
