Urinary incontinene is defined as "Involuntary loss of urine, such as leaking of urine. It is a symptom of various underlying pathological processes."[1]

Classification

Urge incontinence

Stress incontinence

Causes

Incontinence is more common after a hysterectomy.[2]

Treatment

Exercises

Kegel exercises to strengthen or retrain pelvic floor muscles and sphincter muscles can reduce stress leakage.[3] Patients younger than 60 years old benefit the most.[3] The patient should do at least 24 daily contractions for at least 6 weeks. [3]

Medications

A randomized controlled trial found that trospium is effective.[4]

Surgery

Among surgical options, a randomized controlled trial found greater benefit, but more complications from Fascial sling surgery as compared to Burch colposuspension.[5]
