What is Urinary Incontinence Treatment?
Treatment starts with pelvic floor therapy and lifestyle changes, with medication or surgery considered for cases that don't fully respond to these first steps.

The Care Pathway
1. Assessment
A review of your symptoms and pelvic floor strength guides the treatment plan.
2. First-Line Treatment
Pelvic floor therapy and bladder training are started.
3. Additional Treatment
Medication is added if symptoms persist despite therapy.
4. Surgical Consultation
Surgery is discussed for stress incontinence not responding to non-surgical treatment.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is meaningful improvement in bladder control and quality of life. Most women see significant improvement with pelvic floor therapy alone.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your care team will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Many women notice improvement within six to twelve weeks of consistent pelvic floor therapy.
Your care plan includes a structured pelvic floor exercise program, bladder training techniques, and follow-up to track improvement.
Careful monitoring, follow-up testing and guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.

- 2.How long before I notice improvement with pelvic floor therapy?
- 3.When would surgery be considered?
