Urinary incontinence 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]

Anticholinergic drugs such as oxybutynin and tolterodine are effective according to a systematic review.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
