neurologic directed imaging
timed voiding
void on a set schedule to empty bladder before leakage occurs
dietary modifications for urinary incontinence

How can weight loss be helpful in treating urinary incontinence?
decreased abdominal pressure → decreased pressure on bladder

continence devices
pessary

urethral occlusive device
