Abstract

Urinary incontinence is a major health problem that becomes more common with increasing age. A thorough history and examination can help determine the type of incontinence: stress, urge, mixed, or other. Initial treatments may include lifestyle and behavioral modifications, pelvic floor exercises, and anticholinergic medications. Urologic referral is appropriate when initial treatment measures fail or in complex cases, such as previous incontinence surgery or irradiation.
