What is incontinence?

Urgency incontinence, which is where urine is lost when there is an urge to urinate, is treated with behavior modification, medication, Botox injections into the bladder, and implantation of a nerve stimulator. Stress urinary incontinence is treated with pelvic floor muscle exercises, intra-urethral bulking agents, and surgery.

A variety of medications might help you have more normal urination. These include medications that encourage nerve activity, medications for bladder relaxation, and other options. Other treatment choices include bladder catheters or having one of a few different surgical options. Some lifestyle changes might also help. You can learn exercises that build strength in the muscles of the pelvic floor and pay attention to your urination pattern.
