 | | Incontinence happens less often after age 5: About 10 percent of 5-year-olds, 5 percent of 10-year-olds, and 1 percent of 18-year-olds experience episodes of incontinence. | | | If you are incontinent because your bladder never empties completely (overflow incontinence) or your bladder cannot empty because of poor muscle tone, past surgery, or spinal cord injury, you might use a catheter to empty your bladder. | | | Patients with incontinence should be referred to a medical practitioner specializing in this field. |

| | Many early attempts to use biofeedback in the treatment of incontinence were only marginally successful because clinicians were not able to generate enough motivation in their patients to reach significant levels of exercise; so results slowed and patient enthusiasm declined even further. | | | This page leads to important articles, essays, and reviews about the non-surgical treatment of urinary incontinence and the new techniques available for the rehabilitation of pelvic muscles. | | | Since March, 1992 when the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research officially recommended that behavioral methods including biofeedback be utilized before drugs and surgery for urinary incontinence, most clinicians have used these Guidelines to document and justify opening "incontinence clinics". |
