What are the solutions for urinary incontinence?

Answer 1

The solutions for urinary incontinence cover a relatively large spectrum, from exercises to surgery to drugs.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises are the most important aspect of any incontinence solutions program. For this reason, ensuring proper technique is essential. There are several incontinence devices that you may find helpful in your pelvic floor therapy. Some of the devices, like the Prometheus CTS 2000 and Kegel Master, actually allow you to see how well you're strengthening the muscle by squeezing on a device that's got an electronic monitor in it.

Surgery is another incontinence solution that should be heavily weighed. However, most doctors recommend surgery only after all other solutions have been attempted.

There are drugs you can take as well, but they're normally only prescribed if you've just had prostate surgery or some other invasive procedure.
