Drug Therapy

Some types of urinary incontinence may be treated with drugs that affect the bladder and urethral muscles, thereby preventing leakage. In the case of Overflow Incontinence, alpha blockers may be prescribed to relax striated and smooth muscle, decreasing urethral resistance and relieving symptoms. Hormone therapy, such as estrogen creams, may also be effective in helping to improve pelvic floor muscle function.

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