If
you are suffering from involuntary urine leakage or bladder instability, you should know that
Incontinence is
Treatable.

products
that are available, and then make an appointment with a physiotherapist or nurse continence
advisor that has the clinical biofeedback equipment to treat your condition
effectively. Many community hospitals and physiotherapists
clinics offer an incontinence clinic. Your doctor or public health
office can help in locating a therapist.
There
are several different options for seeking treatment.
If

services in your community.

Best-Practice Clinic Guideline
A multi-disciplinary committee
of clients, gynecologists, urologists, family practitioners, physiotherapists and nurse continence advisors has
produced a best-practice guideline for assessing and treating urinary incontinence.
A summary of the guideline, published by the Canadian Continence
Foundation, is presented as a flow
chart. A key feature is that for
all
cases of
Stress/Mixed/and Urge Incontinence, pelvic floor therapy in the form of
environmental
and lifestyle interactions, pelvic floor muscle training, bladder
retaining is the
first treatment, and occurs
before
considering
pharmaceuticals or surgery.
Thanks goes to the Canadian
Continence Foundation for
undertaking this study and making the results freely available.

Since pelvic floor therapy is
highly effective in producing a durable cure for bladder dysfunctions, surgery
is only rarely needed. Pharmaceuticals are usually only needed for temporary
symptom relief while you are waiting to start physiotherapy treatment.
