These studies suggest that managing urinary incontinence can be effectively achieved through pelvic floor muscle training, lifestyle modifications, and, if necessary, surgical options.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition characterized by the involuntary loss of urine, significantly impacting the quality of life. Various conservative, pharmacological, and surgical interventions are available to manage UI symptoms. This synthesis aims to provide an overview of effective strategies for managing urinary incontinence based on recent research findings.
Effective management of urinary incontinence involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, behavioral therapies, and medical or surgical interventions tailored to the individual's needs. Weight loss, fluid and dietary changes, and bladder training are beneficial lifestyle interventions. PFMT, especially when supervised, is highly effective for all types of UI. Pharmacological treatments, including antimuscarinic agents and mirabegron, offer additional options, particularly for UUI. Surgical interventions, such as midurethral slings and botulinum toxin injections, are reserved for cases where conservative measures fail. For men, especially post-prostatectomy, PFMT remains a cornerstone of management.
