Mixed urinary incontinence treatment
The various treatment methods for mixed urinary incontinence are
Bladder training
Increasing the volume of fluid your bladder can hold and the intervals between bladder emptying are the two main objectives of bladder training. The sense of urgency and leaking may be lessened with the use of this training.
Kegel’s exercise
Exercises like Kegel’s are vital for reducing incontinence and keeping it from getting worse. Additionally, they can assist you in suppressing the urge to urinate. Moreover, the Kegel exercise helps to tone and strengthen the muscles that support the pelvic organs.
Biofeedback
Your pelvic floor muscles, which are crucial for bladder control, can be strengthened and controlled with this method. Moreover, this technique shows you the muscles you are working out using computer graphs and audio tones.
Botox injections
Individuals suffering from urge incontinence are treated with botulinum toxin A, commonly referred to as botox. After injection, the greatest level of the reduction often appears seven days later and lasts for six to twelve months.
