What are the treatment options for urinary incontinence?

The treatment for urinary incontinence really depends upon the causes. If it is a support defect problem that’s usually relates to stress incontinence, it tends to be mechanical type fixes. So, these patients often will respond to things like Kegel exercises, physical therapy to strengthen those muscles and help to resist the flow, involuntary flow of urine. They may respond to something conservative like a pessary, a little device that we place inside the vagina to help to support the bladder neck and prevent the dropping of the bladder that often leads to urinary incontinence or various surgical and office procedures that can help to improve those symptoms.
