Behavioral Modifications

Behavioral modifications are just that – changes in your behavior that may help you control your incontinence.  These include:

Diet Modifications
Patients with urinary incontinence are often directed to watch their intake of caffeine and spicy foods.  However, it is important that patients do not reduce their fluid intake. 

Used for: Urge Incontinence, Overactive Bladder, and Mixed Incontinence

Scheduled Toileting
The incontinent patient is prompted to use the bathroom every 2-4 hours.

Used for: frail, elderly, bedridden or Alzheimer’s patients.

Bladder Training
Bladder Training involves scheduled toileting in which the length of time between bathroom visits is gradually increased.

Used for: Urge Incontinence, Overactive Bladder, and Mixed Incontinence

Pelvic Muscle Rehabilitation
Pelvic floor exercises, commonly referred to as Kegel exercises, are often recommended. Depending on the severity of a patient’s symptoms, Kegel exercises may be combined with:

  • Pelvic muscle stimulation – mild electrical stimulation to help automate the process of performing Kegel exercises.  Stimulation is generally applied using a home-use device.
  • Biofeedback – a process using visual or auditory signals to assist targeting the correct muscle during exercise.

Used for: Stress Urinary Incontinence, Urge Incontinence, Overactive Bladder, and Mixed Incontinence
