Treatments

  • Behavioral Changes

    Changes to your bathroom habits can help you control incontinence. Your doctor may recommend bladder training, where you urinate at specific intervals throughout the day to increase how much time you go between urinating, which can help improve your ability to control urine.

  • Physical Therapy

    Pelvic floor exercises can strengthen the muscles that control urination. A physical therapist can help you learn how to improve muscle control to prevent leakage.

  • Medicines

    Medicines can help address some of the causes of incontinence, such as shrinking an enlarged prostate, suppressing nerve signals from the bladder, or keeping the bladder from contracting involuntarily.

  • Electrical Nerve Stimulation

    This procedure uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate different nerves involved in urination. It can help block nerve signals that cause incontinence or help you strengthen your bladder control and pelvic floor muscles.

  • Bulking Agents

    Bulking agents help shrink the opening of your bladder to reduce leakage. Your doctor injects the medicine into your urethra using a scope (a thin tube with a tiny lens). This outpatient procedure doesn’t require a hospital stay.

  • Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS)

    An AUS is a device that helps prevent urine from leaking out of your bladder inadvertently. Your doctor implants the device using minimally invasive surgery.

  • Male Sling Surgery

    Repositioning the urethra can sometimes help improve urinary control. During sling surgery, your doctor lifts your urethra up and holds it in place using a sling.

Tests

  • Digital Rectal Exam

    Your urologist may use a digital rectal exam to examine your prostate. When the prostate is enlarged, it can cause urinary incontinence.

  • Urinalysis

    Your doctor may take a sample of your urine to examine in a lab to determine the cause of incontinence.

  • Urodynamic Testing

    Urodynamic testing helps your doctor evaluate how well your bladder works.
