urinary incontinence interventions

Urinary incontinence interventions aim to help individuals manage or reduce involuntary leakage of urine. Common approaches include behavioral strategies, like scheduled bathroom visits and bladder training, to improve control. Pelvic floor exercises, known as Kegel exercises, strengthen the muscles that help control urination. Medications can be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve bladder function. In some cases, medical devices or surgery may be considered for severe cases. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding bladder irritants, also play a crucial role in managing this condition effectively.
