Research Notes on Urinary Incontinence Treatment


Treatment options for urinary incontinence depend on how serious it is and the type of urinary incontinence you have.1 Medications such as Detrol and Toviaz work to decrease the urgency and frequency associated with urinary incontinence.2 Other forms of treatment for urinary incontinence include behavioral therapy, the use of devices, and surgery.2

Fast Facts:

  • Behavioral therapies such as bladder retraining, Kegel exercises, and biofeedback do not have the same risks of side effects that medications do.2
  • A bladder pacemaker can be used by both men and women to treat urinary incontinence.1
  • Surgery is considered a last option after other methods have failed to successfully treat urinary incontinence.1
