Patients usually under-report symptoms of incontinence. Therefore, improved physician-patient communication is vital. Most urinary incontinence can be evaluated and treated after careful history and simple clinical assessment. Initial treatment, for both urge urinary incontinence and stress urinary incontinence, is lifestyle modification and pelvic floor muscle exercises. Urgency responds to bladder training and drug therapy with anticholinergic medication. Pharmacotherapy has a limited place in stress incontinence.
